All Else Being Equal Be Empowered
(2005)
The classical approach to using utility functions suffers from the drawback of having to design and tweak the functions on a case by case basis. Inspired by examples from the animal kingdom, social sciences and games we ...
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 ...
Sensor Adaptation and Development in Robots by Entropy Maximization of Sensory Data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
A method is presented for adapting the sensors of a robot to the statistical structure of its current environment. This enables the robot to compress incoming sensory information and to find informational relationships ...
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 ...
Autobiographic agents in dynamic virtual environments - performance comparison for different memory control architectures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
In this paper, we extend our previous work in investigating the performance of different autobiographic memory control architectures which are developed based on a basic subsumption control architecture for Artificial Life ...
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 ...
Algebraic hierarchical decomposition of finite state automata : comparison of implementations for Krohn-Rhodes Theory
(2005)
The hierarchical algebraic decomposition of finite state automata (Krohn- Rhodes Theory) has been a mathematical theory without any computational implementations until the present paper, although several possible and ...
