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 ...
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 ...
Achieving Corresponding Effects on Multiple Robotic Platforms: Imitating in Context Using Different Effect Metrics
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)
One of the fundamental problems in imitation is the correspondence problem, how to map between the actions, states and effects of the model and imitator agents, when the embodiment of the agents is dissimilar. In our ...
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, ...
A Study of a Single Robot Interacting with Groups of Children in a Rotation Game Scenario
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
We tested the hypothesis that children are more attentive to a robot if the robot appears to be interested in the children. In addition, we investigated if and how the quality and quantity of a child's attentive behaviour ...
