Evaluation of Robot Imitation Attempts: Comparison of the System’s and the Human’s Perspectives
(ACM Press, 2006)
Imitation is a powerful learning tool when humans and robots bots interact in a social context. A series of experimental runs and a small pilot user study were conducted to evaluate the performance of a system designed for ...
A study of episodic memory-based learning and narrative structure for autobiographic agents
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2006)
Peekaboo: Effect of Experience Length on the Interaction History Driven Ontogeny of a Robot
(Lund University, 2006)
Action, State and Effect Metrics for Robot Imitation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper addresses the problem of body mapping in robotic imitation where the demonstrator and imitator may not share the same embodiment (degrees of freedom (DOFs), body morphology, constraints, affordances and so on). ...
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. ...
Naturally Occurring Gestures in a Human-Robot Teaching Scenario
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper describes our general framework for the investigation of how human gestures can be used to facilitate the interaction and communication between humans and robots.
Using Self-Imitation to Direct Learning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
An evolutionary predecessor to observational imitation may have been self-imitation. Self-imitation is where an agent is able to learn and replicate actions it has experienced through the manipulation of its body by another. ...
Distribution and Recognition of Gestures in Human-Robot Interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper presents an approach for human activity recognition focusing on gestures in a teaching scenario, together with the setup and results of user studies on human gestures exhibited in unconstrained human-robot ...
