Generating complex multi-turn goal-oriented dialogue agents is a difficult problem that has seen a considerable focus from many leaders in the tech industry, including IBM, Google …
Reasoning about object affordances allows an autonomous agent to perform generalised manipulation tasks among object instances. While current approaches to grasp affordance …
This manuscript is the result of six years of research conducted between 2011 and 2017 at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The …
The success of intelligent mobile robots operating and collaborating with humans in daily living environments depends on their ability to generalise and learn human movements, and …

When a robot has to imitate an observed action sequence, it must first understand the inherent characteristic features of the individual actions. Such features need to reflect the …
Affordances play a crucial role in robotics since they allow developing truly autonomous robots, which can freely explore and interact with the environment. Most of the existing …
We propose an architecture for the open-ended learning and control of embodied agents. The architecture learns action affordances and forward models based on intrinsic …
