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 ...
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, ...
From Unknown Sensors and Actuators to Visually Guided Movement
(2005)
This paper describes a developmental system implemented on a real robot that learns a model of its own sensory and actuator apparatuses. There is no innate knowledge regarding the modality or representation of the sensoric ...
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 ...
Navigation in the presence of humans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion planner must not ...
Inferring dependencies in Embodiment-based modular reinforcement learning
(2005)
The state-spaces needed to describe realistic--physical embodied agents are extremely large, which presents a serious challenge to classical einforcement learning schemes. In previous work--(Jacob et al., 2005a, Jacob et ...
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 ...
