We describe how a physical robot can learn about objects from its own autonomous experience in the continuous world. The robot identifies statistical regularities that allow it t...
— Safe autonomous flight is essential for widespread acceptance of aircraft that must fly close to the ground. We have developed a method of collision avoidance that can be use...

Abstract— This paper introduces a novel approach to representing and learning tool affordances by a robot. The tool representation described here uses a behavior-based approach t...
—This paper introduces a new approach to develop robots that can learn general affordance relations from their experiences. Our approach is a part of larger efforts to develop a ...
