In this article, we propose an effective action parameter exploration mechanism that enables
efficient discovery of robot actions through interacting with objects in a simulated table-top …

We addressed the idea that a hybrid of symbolic and sub-symbolic representations is the
best method to represent cognition for developmental robots. Basing the learning …

During the perceptual learning (PL) of a mobile robot, how to improve the efficiency of its
behavior decision is a great challenge. The existing methods suffer from the less flexibility …

The study of development, either artificial or biological, can highlight the mechanisms
underlying learning and adaptive behavior. We shall argue whether developmental studies …

We have developed a musculoskeletal infant robot driven by pneumatic actuators in order to
clarify the role of embodiment, especially of the musculoskeletal and skin system, in the …

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 …

Humanoid Robots are used in many scientific research areas ranging from household
applications to disposing a bomb in hazardous environments. In the past, robots are …

In order to effectively transfer human's manipulation skills to a robot, in this chapter, we
investigate skill-learning functions via our proposed wearable device. The robotic …

The flexibility of human motor behavior strongly relies on rhythmic and discrete movements.
Developmental psychology has shown how these movements closely interplay during …

Humans' ability to smoothly switch between locomotion and manipulation is a remarkable
feature of sensorimotor coordination. Leaning and replication of such human-like strategies …
