A Constructivist Approach to Robot Language Learning via Simulated Babbling and Holophrase Extraction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
It is thought that meaning may be grounded in early childhood language learning via the physical and social interaction of the infant with those around him or her, and that the capacity to use words, phrases and their ...
What is an Appropriate Theory of Imitation for a Robot Learner?
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
Issues in Human/Robot Task Structuring and Teaching
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
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 ...
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. ...
Achieving Corresponding Effects on Multiple Robotic Platforms: Imitating in Context Using Different Effect Metrics
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)
One of the fundamental problems in imitation is the correspondence problem, how to map between the actions, states and effects of the model and imitator agents, when the embodiment of the agents is dissimilar. In our ...
An Examination of the Static to Dynamic Imitation Spectrum
(2005)
We consider the issues that arise from an examination of the continuum between two social learning paradigms that are widely used in robotics research: (i) following or matched-dependent behaviour and (ii) static observational ...
An Approach for Programming Robots by Demonstration: Generalization Across Different Initial Configurations of Manipulated Objects
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Imitation is a powerful learning tool that can be used by a robotic agent to socially learn new skills and tasks. One of the fundamental problems in imitation is the correspondence problem, how to map between the actions, ...
