This position paper proposes that the study of embodied cognitive agents, such as
humanoid robots, can advance our understanding of the cognitive development of complex …

Interaction with its environment is a key requisite for a humanoid robot. Especially the ability
to recognize and manipulate unknown objects is crucial to successfully work in natural …

A developing cognitive system will ideally acquire knowledge of its interaction in the world,
and will be able to use that knowledge to construct a scaffolding for progressively structured …

Language is an act of identity, but AI has no identity other than that which its creators assign
it. Technology creators who do not fully consider how identity information is encoded in AI …

This paper investigates issues of robot's personalization and long-term adaptation in human-
robot interaction (HRI). It demonstrates the design and first technical implementation of a …

We overview how sensorimotor experience can be operationalized for interaction scenarios
in which humanoid robots acquire skills and linguistic behaviours via enacting a “form-of …

—In a new environment, an artificial agent should explore autonomously and exploit tutoring
signals from human caregivers. While these two mechanisms have mainly been studied in …

Students who learn foreign languages have limited exposure to conversations in the target
language as, by definition, a foreign language is the one that is not commonly spoken where …

The present research aimed to determine the effectiveness of applied behavior analysis
therapy on eye contact enhancement, stereotypical behaviors and reduction of behavioral …

We summarise the experimental design issues related to timing in several human-robot
