— In this paper, we consider the problem of how background knowledge about usual object arrangements can be utilized by a mobile robot to more efficiently find an object in an ...
— We describe a simple and intuitive policy gradient method for improving parametrized quadrocopter multi-flips by combining iterative experiments with information from a first...
— We present a learning mechanism, Socially Guided Exploration, in which a robot learns new tasks through a combination of self-exploration and social interaction. The system’s...
Abstract. The archetype of many novel research activities is called cognition. Although separate definitions exist to define a technical cognitive system, it is typically character...
— We address the problem of foothold selection in robotic legged locomotion over very rough terrain. The difficulty of the problem we address here is comparable to that of human...
