FARSA: An Open Software Tool for Embodied Cognitive Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce the FARSA open-source tool that supports the accomplishment of experimental research in Embodied Cognitive Science and Adaptive Behavior. The tool provides a set of integrated libraries and a graphical interface that enable to design, to accurately simulate and to analyze individual and/or collective embodied robotic models. The modular architecture of the tool allows to progressively expand it with new software components and simplifies the implementation of custom experiments. The tool comes with a set of exemplificative experiments and with a synthetic but comprehensive documentation that should enable users to quickly master its usage.

Designing adaptive humanoid robots through the FARSA open-source framework
We introduce FARSA, an open-source Framework for Autonomous Robotics Simulation and Analysis, that allows us to easily set up and carry on adaptive experiments involving complex robot/environmental models. Moreover, we show how a simulated iCub robot can be trained, through an evolutionary algorithm, to display reaching and integrated reaching and grasping behaviours. The results demonstrate ho...

متن کاملToward a Situated, Embodied Realism1
Situated, embodied cognitive science is all the rage these days. Some (including the present author) have argued that situated, embodied cognitive science is incompatible with realism (metaphysical and scientific). In this paper, I argue that this is a mistake: there is no reason one cannot be both a proponent of situated, embodied cognitive science and a realist. To show this, I point to flaws...
