Background Mindfulness affects human levels of experience by facilitating the immediate
and impartial perception of phenomena, including sensory stimulation, emotions, and …

Notwithstanding the considerable amount of progress that has been made in recent years,
the parallel fields of cognitive science and cognitive systems lack a unifying methodology for …

Assistive robots operating in household environments would require items to be available in
the house to perform assistive tasks. However, when these items run out, the assistive robot …

For robot intelligence and human-robot interaction (HRI), complex decision-making,
interpretation, and adaptive planning processes are great challenges. These require …

The autonomous acquisition of sensory-motor skills along multiple developmental stages is
one of the current challenges in robotics. To this end, we propose a new developmental …

Co-development of action, conceptualization and social interaction mutually scaffold and
support each other within a virtuous feedback cycle in the development of human language …

In this article, an enactive architecture is described that allows a humanoid robot to learn to
compose simple actions into turn-taking behaviours while playing interaction games with a …

“No” is one of the first ten words used by children and embodies the first form of linguistic
negation. Despite its early occurrence, the details of its acquisition remain largely unknown …

In the enactivist framework, habits are precarious, self-sustaining, and self-individuating
sensorimotor structures: they are a first approximation of autonomous sensorimotor entities …

We examine the scope of some sensorimotor accounts of perception, and their application in
developmental robotics. Current interest in sensorimotor theories, and the enactive …
