Towards an Interactive System Facilitating Therapeutic Narrative Elicitation in Autism.
(2004)
By telling stories to ourselves and others we make sense of the world; not only of events and why they happened, but also of the actions and motivations of ourselves and others. However, people with autism appear to live ...
Towards Robot Cultures? Learning to imitate in a robotic arm test-bed with dissimilarly embodied agents
(2004)
The study of imitation and other mechanisms of social learning is an exciting area of research for all those interested in understanding the origin and the nature of animal learning in a social context. Moreover, imitation ...
Sharing memories: an experimental investigation with multiple autonomous autobiographic agents
(IOS Press, 2004)
The overall aim of our work is to develop a generic adaptive control architecture for autonomous intelligent agents. In our previous work we showed how a single agent's survival can benefit from autobiographic memory. In ...
Tracking Information Flow through the Environment: Simple Cases of Stigmerg
(MIT Press, 2004)
Recent work in sensor evolution aims at studying the perception-action loop in a formalized information-theoretic manner. By treating sensors as extracting information and actuators as having the capability to "imprint" ...
Organization of the information flow in the perception-action loop of evolved agents
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004)
Sensor evolution in nature aims at improving the acquisition of information from the environment and is intimately related with selection pressure towards adaptivity and robustness. Recent work in the area aims at studying ...
Improving Learning for Embodied Agents in Dynamic--Environments by State Factorisation
(2004)
A new reinforcement learning algorithm designed--specifically for robots and embodied systems--is described. Conventional reinforcement learning methods intended for learning general tasks suffer from a number of disadvantages ...
Information Trade-Offs and the Evolution of Sensory Layout
(2004)
In nature, sensors evolve to capture relevant information needed for organisms of a particular species to survive and reproduce. In this paper we study how sensor layouts may evolve in different environments and under ...
