Spatial scaffolding is a naturally occurring human teaching behavior, in which teachers use their bodies to spatially structure the learning environment to direct the attention of...
Image segmentation is a critical low-level visual routine for robot perception. However, most image segmentation approaches are still too slow to allow real-time robot operation. I...
Many motor skills in humanoid robotics can be learned using parametrized motor primitives as done in imitation learning. However, most interesting motor learning problems are high...
This paper presents a data-driven approach for segmenting range data to enable a humanoid robot to perform interactive domestic tasks. Range data is segmented into geometric primi...
The development and expression of many higher level cognitive functions, such as imitation, spatial perception, and tool-use relies on a multi-modal representation of the body kno...
