The advisor robot: tracing people's mental model from a robot's physical attributes
Humanoid robots offer many physical design choices such as voice frequency and head dimensions. We used hierarchical statistical mediation analysis to trace differences in peopleâ...

Techniques and Applications for Persistent Backgrounding in a Humanoid Torso Robot
— One of the most basic capabilities for an agent with a vision system is to recognize its own surroundings. Yet surprisingly, despite the ease of doing so, many robots store lit...

Intrinsically motivated hierarchical manipulation
— We present a framework for the programming of manipulation behavior by means of an intrinsic reward function that encourages the building of deep control knowledge. We show how...

A novel method for learning policies from constrained motion
— Many everyday human skills can be framed in terms of performing some task subject to constraints imposed by the environment. Constraints are usually unobservable and frequently...
