An empirical framework for human-robot proxemics
(2009)
An empirical framework for Human-Robot (HR) proxemics is proposed which shows how the measurement and control of interpersonal distances between a human and a robot can be potentially used by the robot to interpret, predict ...
Anticipating future experience using grounded sensorimotor informational relationships
(MIT Press, 2008)
Operational definitions and applications of the sensorimotor experience of an artificial embodied organism are presented along with a mathematical metric for distance between experiences based on Shannon information. We ...
Developing social action capabilities in a humanoid robot using an interaction history architecture
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
We present experimental results for the humanoid robot Kaspar2 engaging in a simple “peekaboo” interaction game with a human partner. The robot develops the capability to engage in the game by using its history of interactions ...
Peekaboo: Effect of Experience Length on the Interaction History Driven Ontogeny of a Robot
(Lund University, 2006)
Extending the temporal horizon of autonomous robots
(Springer Nature, 2006)
We introduce mathematically rigorous metrics on agent experiences having various temporal horizons. Sensorimotor variables accessible to the agent are--treated as information-theoretic sources modelled as random variables. ...
Using Sensory-Motor Phase-Plots to Characterise Robot-Environment Interactions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Information theoretic methods are used to characterise and identify robot-environment interactions, with a view to using these to build an embodied interaction history from the robot's perspective. A bottom-up approach is ...
