A Protolanguage for an Infant Robot
نویسنده
چکیده
The Problem: The research problem is to endow an embodied social creature with a natural protolanguage comparable with that of a child learning her mother tongue. Kismet (see Fig. 2) is a robot for social interaction that has been developed in the lab [2] which lends itself naturally to such a task. Protolanguage is a subset of natural language which develops and extends as the infant grows, but at all stages is characterized by a limited lexicon and a lack of grammatical rules. Nonetheless, it is a meaningful and flexible communicative system adequate for the interactions of the caretaker-child type that the robot is designed for.

Clicks and the idea of a human protolanguage
This paper disputes the arguments behind the idea that a human protolanguage had clicks that were independently retained in languages whose speakers reflect a very early divergence in the human population. It presents a less spectacular view of protolanguage, and it considers an advantage of clicks in hunting and peculiarities in the shape of Bushman palates, which may have helped clicks into s...
متن کاملProtolanguage in ontogeny and phylogeny
We approach the issue of holophrasis versus compositionality in the emergence of protolanguage by analyzing the earliest combinatorial constructions in child, bonobo, and chimpanzee: messages consisting of one symbol combined with one gesture. Based on evidence from apes learning an interspecies visual communication system and children acquiring a first language, we conclude that the potential ...
متن کاملEffective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Workspace Generation of Delta Robot
Dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. Since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. Hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the CPU time of the workspace computatio...
متن کاملDesigning an adaptive fuzzy control for robot manipulators using PSO
This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...
