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 ...
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 ...
