Perception of Robot Smiles and Dimensions for Human-Robot Interaction Design
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
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. ...
Distribution and Recognition of Gestures in Human-Robot Interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
This paper presents an approach for human activity recognition focusing on gestures in a teaching scenario, together with the setup and results of user studies on human gestures exhibited in unconstrained human-robot ...
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 ...
Plus ca change...but what changes and what stays the same
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Since 1949 there have been some dramatic changes in the fabrication technology of computing devices but in the design of computing devices and in software technology the changes have been more limited. This short note ...
Legs that can walk: Embodiment-Based Modular Reinforcement Learning applied
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Experiments to illustrate a novel methodology for reinforcement learning in embodied physical agents are described. A simulated legged robot is decomposed into structurebased modules following the authors' EMBER principles ...
Sensorimotor experience and its metrics: informational geometry and the temporal horizon
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
We introduce metrics on sensorimotor experience at various temporal scales based on informationtheory. Sensorimotor variables through which the experience of an agent flows are modeled as information sources in the sense ...
