Inspired by infant development, we propose a three staged developmental framework for an
anthropomorphic robot manipulator. In the first stage, the robot is initialized with a basic …

Parental scaffolding is an important mechanism that speeds up infant sensorimotor
development. Infants pay stronger attention to the features of the objects highlighted by …

Developmental psychology has long recognized the presence of stages in human cognitive
development, although the underlying causes and processes are still an open question and …

Early infancy is a time of remarkable sensorimotor learning and rapid cognitive growth. Such
development offers a rich source of inspiration for models that might allow robotic systems to …

We present a neurorobotic model that develops reaching and grasping skills analogous to
those displayed by infants during their early developmental stages. The learning process is …

A difficulty in robot action learning is that robots do not know where to attend when
observing action demonstration. Inspired by human parent-infant interaction, we suggest …

Inspired by the extraordinary ability of young infants to learn how to grasp and manipulate
objects, many works in robotics have proposed developmental approaches to allow robots …

Much current work in robotics focuses on the development of robots capable of autonomous
unsupervised learning. An essential prerequisite for such learning to be possible is that the …

A comprehensive overview of an interdisciplinary approach to robotics that takes direct
inspiration from the developmental and learning phenomena observed in children's …

Sensorimotor control and learning are fundamental prerequisites for cognitive development
in humans and animals. Evidence from behavioral sciences and neuroscience suggests that …
