An embodied model of infant gaze-following
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an embodied model of gaze-following. The model learns how to follow another’s gaze by using cognitively plausible mechanisms. It matches a classic gazefollowing experiment (Corkum & Moore, 1998) and runs on an embodied robotic system.

A Model of the Respiratory System in the Newborn Infant
A dynamic mathematical model is presented which successfully simulates the respiratory control system of the newborn infant in different physiological conditions. The primary objective in constructing this model has been to provide a simulation aid in the investigation of maturation of the respiratory system, and the respiratory disorders during the newborn period, without the need for invasive...
متن کاملA Virtual Reality Platform for Modeling Cognitive Development
We present a virtual reality platform for developing and evaluating embodied models of cognitive development. The platform facilitates structuring of the learning agent, of its visual environment, and of other virtual characters that interact with the learning agent. It allows to systematically study the role of the visual and social environment for the development of particular cognitive skill...
متن کاملDesigning an Emotional and Attentive Virtual Infant
This paper outlines the design of a model amalgamating computational visual attention and emotion approaches for the purposes of driving expressive attentive and emotional behaviour in an embodied, situated real-time virtual infant. The themes of emotion and attention underlie all aspects of our model: from perception, to memory, internal state and behaviour expressivity. The model is focused o...
متن کاملModelling Gaze Behaviour for Conversational Agents
In this paper we propose an eye gaze model for an embodied conversational agent that embeds information on communicative functions as well as on statistical information of gaze patterns. This latter information has been derived from the analytic studies of an annotated video-corpus of conversation dyads. We aim at generating different gaze behaviors to stimulate several personalized gaze habits...
متن کاملBuilding a Model of Infant Social Interaction
Naturalistic observations of infant/caregiver social attention have yielded rich information about human social development. However, observational data are expensive, laborious, and reliant on fallible human coders. We model interactions between caregivers and infants using a three dimensional simulation environment in order to gain greater insight into the development of infant attention shar...
