Anticipating future experience using grounded sensorimotor informational relationships
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (MIT Press, 2008)Operational definitions and applications of the sensorimotor experience of an artificial embodied organism are presented along with a mathematical metric for distance between experiences based on Shannon information. We ... -
Developing social action capabilities in a humanoid robot using an interaction history architecture
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)We present experimental results for the humanoid robot Kaspar2 engaging in a simple “peekaboo” interaction game with a human partner. The robot develops the capability to engage in the game by using its history of interactions ... -
Extending the temporal horizon of autonomous robots
Nehaniv, C.L.; Mirza, N.A.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (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. ... -
Grounded sensorimotor interaction histories in an information theoretic metric space for robot ontogeny
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (2007) -
Interaction Histories: From Experience to Action and Back Again.
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (IEEE, 2006) -
KASPAR - a minimally expressive humanoid robot for human-robot interaction research
Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Walters, M.L.; Robins, B.; Kose-Bagci, H.; Mirza, N.A.; Blow, M. (2009)This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of the minimally expressive robot KASPAR, which is particularly suitable for human-robot interaction studies. A low-cost design with off-the-shelf components ... -
Peekaboo: Effect of Experience Length on the Interaction History Driven Ontogeny of a Robot
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (Lund University, 2006) -
Robot Self-Characterisation of Experience Using Trajectories in Sensory-Motor Phase Space
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Te Boekhorst, R.; Dautenhahn, K. (2005) -
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
Robins, B.; Dautenhahn, K.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Mirza, N.A.; Francois, D.; Olsson, L. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Motivated by questions of interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an exploratory initial study was carried out with children and a robotic pet in order to improve understanding the design space for interaction ... -
Using Sensory-Motor Phase-Plots to Characterise Robot-Environment Interactions
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (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 ... -
Using temporal information distance to locate sensorimotor experience in a metric space
Mirza, N.A.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Te Boekhorst, R. (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 ...
