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. ...
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. ...
Using temporal information distance to locate sensorimotor experience in a metric space
(2005)
Information distance is used to measure how similar sensorimotor experience is to past experience--within a certain temporal horizon. Applied to groups--of sensors this gives a mathematical metric on sensorimotor experience ...
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 ...
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, ...
