Developmental Robotics: Fundamentals and Applications
À propos de cet ebook
A scientific discipline that tries to explore the developmental mechanisms, architectures, and limitations that allow lifelong and open-ended learning of new abilities and new knowledge in embodied machines. This topic is sometimes referred to as epigenetic robotics. Developmental robotics, sometimes known as DevRob, is a subfield of developmental robotics. Learning is expected to be cumulative and of progressively increasing complexity, just as it is in human children. It is also expected to result from self-exploration of the world in combination with social contact, just as it is in human children. The standard methodological approach involves beginning with theories of human and animal development that have been developed in disciplines such as developmental psychology, neuroscience, developmental and evolutionary biology, and linguistics. These theories are then formalized and implemented in robots, and researchers may occasionally explore extensions or variants of these theories. Researchers are able to test the validity of these models by conducting experiments on robots. As a result, developmental robotics provides researchers with both feedback and innovative hypotheses regarding theories of human and animal development.
