Bootstrap learning of foundational representations

To be autonomous, intelligent robots must learn the foundations of commonsense knowledge from their own sensorimotor experience in the world. We describe four recent research results that show how a robot learning agent can bootstrap from the "blooming buzzing confusion" of the pixel level to a higher-level ontology including distinctive states, places, actions, and objects.
