Active Choice of Teachers, Learning Strategies and Goals for a Socially Guided Intrinsic Motivation LearnerAbstract
We present an active learning architecture that allows a robot to actively learn which data collection strategy is most efficient for acquiring motor skills to achieve multiple outcomes, and generalise over its experience to achieve new outcomes. The robot explores its environment both via interactive learning and goal-babbling. It learns at... ...

Investigating improvements to neural network based EMG to joint torque estimationAbstract
Although surface electromyography (sEMG) has a high correlation to muscle force, an accurate model that can estimate joint torque from sEMG is still elusive. Artificial neural networks (NN), renowned as universal approximators, have been employed to capture this complex nonlinear relation. This work focuses on investigating possible improvem... ...

Evolution of central pattern generators for the control of a five-link bipedal walking mechanismAbstract
Central pattern generators (CPGs), with a basis is neurophysiological studies, are a type of neural network for the generation of rhythmic motion. While CPGs are being increasingly used in robot control, most applications are hand-tuned for a specific task and it is acknowledged in the field that generic methods and design principles for cre... ...

A Synchrony-Based Perspective for Partner Selection and Attentional Mechanism in Human-Robot InteractionAbstract
Future robots must co-exist and directly interact with human beings. Designing these agents imply solving hard problems linked to human-robot interaction tasks. For instance, how a robot can choose an interacting partner among various agents and how a robot locates regions of interest in its visual field. Studies of neurobiology and psycholo... ...

Exploring the use of robots as social mediators in a remote human-human collaborative communication experimentAbstract
Our long-term goal is to develop robots as social mediators that can support human-human communication in remote interaction scenarios. This paper explores the effects of an autonomous robot on human-human remote communication and studies participants’ preferences in comparison with a communication system not involving robots. We developed a... ...

Towards an Articulation-Based Developmental Robotics Approach for Word Processing in Face-to-Face CommunicationAbstract While we are capable of modeling the shape, e.g. face, arms, etc. of humanoid robots in a nearly natural or human-like way, it is much more difficult to generate human-like facial or body movements and human-like behavior like e.g. speaking and co-speech gesturing. In this paper it will be argued for a developmental robotics approach for learning to speak. ... ...

Optimizing Coverage Performance of Multiple Random Path-planning RobotsAbstract
This paper presents a new approach to the multi-agent coverage path-planning problem. An efficient multi-robot coverage algorithm yields a coverage path for each robot, such that the union of all paths generates an almost full coverage of the terrain and the total coverage time is minimized. The proposed algorithm enables multiple robots wit... ...

A Predictive Network Architecture for a Robust and Smooth Robot Docking BehaviorAbstract Robots and living beings exhibit latencies in their sensorimotor processing due to mechanical and electronic or neural processing delays. A reaction typically occurs to input stimuli of the past. This is critical not only when the environment changes (e.g. moving objects) but also when the agent itself moves. An agent that does not predict while moving may ... ...

Study of the Impact of Delay on Human Remote Navigators with Application to Receding Horizon ControlAbstract This paper examines the impact of delays on human performance and human strategies when remotely navigating autonomous vehicles, and develops a robust human inspired delay compensation. Vehicles chosen for the study are ground autonomous vehicles which are allowed to stop, providing an instrumental feature that enables it to capture some important human beh... ...

Modelling Concept Prototype Competencies using a Developmental Memory ModelAbstract The use of concepts is fundamental to human-level cognition, but there remain a number of open questions as to the structures supporting this competence. Specifically, it has been shown that humans use concept prototypes, a flexible means of representing concepts such that it can be used both for categorisation and for similarity judgements. In the context ... ...
