Affordance based word-to-meaning association
Abstract-- This paper presents a method to associate meanings to words in manipulation tasks. We base our model on an affordance network, i.e., a mapping between robot actions, rob...

The Power of Team Exploration: Two Robots Can Learn Unlabeled Directed Graphs
We show that two cooperating robots can learn exactly any strongly-connected directed graph with n indistinguishable nodes in expected time polynomial in n. We introduce a new typ...

Beyond record and play: backpacks: tangible modulators for kinetic behavior
Digital Manipulatives embed computation in familiar children's toys and provide means for children to design behavior. Some systems use "record and play" as a form ...
