Classical Conditioning in Social Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classical conditioning is important in humans to learn and predict events in terms of associations between stimuli and to produce responses based on these associations. Social robots that have a classical conditioning skill like humans will have an advantage to interact with people more naturally, socially and effectively. In this paper, we present a novel classical conditioning mechanism and describe its implementation in ASMO cognitive architecture. The capability of this mechanism is demonstrated in the Smokey robot companion experiment. Results show that Smokey can associate stimuli and predict events in its surroundings. ASMO’s classical conditioning mechanism can be used in social robots to adapt to the environment and to improve the robots’ performances.

Classical and Operant Conditioning as Roots of Interaction for Robots
We believe that classical and operant conditionings play a fundamental role in the learning of adaptive behaviors in varying environments. We present a new model that integrates both conditioning mechanisms. It is based on a prediction system with traces of all events.
متن کاملDynamics of a Classical Conditioning Model
Classical conditioning is a basic learning mechanism in animals and can be found in almost all organisms. If we want to construct robots with abilities matching those of their biological counterparts, this is one of the learning mechanisms that needs to be implemented first. This article describes a computational model of classical conditioning where the goal of learning is assumed to be the pr...
متن کاملCombining associative learning and nonassociative learning to achieve robust reactive navigation in mobile robots
We present a neural network that learns to control approach and avoidance behaviors in a mobile robot based on three forms of animal learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and habituation. Mechanisms of classical conditioning are used to learn to predict the proximity of obstacles and sources of light. At the same time the robot learns through operant conditioning to generate t...

متن کاملChallenges in Building Robots That Imitate People
Humans (and some other animals) acquire new skills socially through direct tutelage, observational conditioning, goal emulation, imitation, and other methods (Galef, 1988; Hauser, 1996). These social learning skills provide a powerful mechanism for an observer to acquire behaviors and knowledge from a skilled individual (the model). In particular, imitation is an extremely powerful mechanism fo...
