چکیده
Understanding sensorimotor, cognitive and social development in animals and robots is a truly interdisciplinary endeavour. Development happens through the progressive organisation of coupled complex systems, at various spatio-temporal scales, and covering a large diversity of levels of abstraction, ranging from coupled mechanical dynamics for low-level body control to higher-level conceptual development. As thinkers like Edgar Morin have been arguing for a long time, understanding such complex systems in the living requires the combination of multiple perspectives of analysis, coming from disciplines as varied as neuroscience, psychology, robotics, mathematics, physics, biology, philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, and primatology.

Welcome Message from the New Chair of AMD Technical Committee
New fundamental concepts, experimental methods and techniques have been growing recently about the understanding of developmental social learning in humans and robots. They are at the crossroads of research in developmental robotics, human-robot interaction, and the psychology and neuroscience of human social learning. This newsletter features a stimulating dialog illustrating the high-importan...
متن کاملDevelopmental Robotics: Theory and Experiments
A hand-designed internal representation of the world cannot deal with unknown or uncontrolled environments. Motivated by human cognitive and behavioral development, this paper presents a theory, an architecture, and some experimental results for developmental robotics. By a developmental robot, we mean that the robot generates its “brain” (or “central nervous system,” including the information ...
متن کاملLearning to Predict Variable-Delay Rewards and Its Role in Autonomous Developmental Robotics
Researchers in the new eld of \developmental robotics" propose to provide robots with so-called developmental programs. Similar to the development of human infants, robots might use those programs to interact with humans and their environment for extended periods of time, and become smarter autonomously. In this paper we show how a neural network model developed by neuroscientists can be used b...
متن کاملGuest Editorial Active Learning and Intrinsically Motivated Exploration in Robots: Advances and Challenges
L EARNING techniques are increasingly being used in today’s complex robotic systems. Robots are expected to deal with a large variety of tasks using their high-dimensional and complex bodies, to manipulate objects and also, to interact with humans in an intuitive and friendly way. In this new setting, not all relevant information is available at design time, and robots should typically be able ...
متن کاملAutonomous Learning of the Semantics of Internal Sensory States Based on Motor Exploration
What is available to developmental programs in autonomous mental development, and what should be learned at the very early stages of mental development? Our observation is that sensory and motor primitives are the most basic components present at the beginning, and what developmental agents need to learn from these resources is what their internal sensory states stand for. In this paper, we inv...
