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 ...
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sharing memories: an experimental investigation with multiple autonomous autobiographic agents
(IOS Press, 2004)
The overall aim of our work is to develop a generic adaptive control architecture for autonomous intelligent agents. In our previous work we showed how a single agent's survival can benefit from autobiographic memory. In ...
Towards Robot Cultures? Learning to imitate in a robotic arm test-bed with dissimilarly embodied agents
(2004)
The study of imitation and other mechanisms of social learning is an exciting area of research for all those interested in understanding the origin and the nature of animal learning in a social context. Moreover, imitation ...
Synchrony and perception in robotic imitation across embodiments
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2003)
Social robotics opens up the possibility of individualized social intelligence in member robots of a community, and allows us to harness not only individual learning by the individual robot, but also the acquisition of new ...
