Epi is a humanoid robot developed by Lund University Cognitive Science Robotics Group. It
was designed to be used in experiments in developmental robotics and has proportions to …

A great number of computational models of emotions (CMEs) have been developed to be
included in, or as part of, cognitive agent architectures. These computational models have …

Human recognition of the actions of other humans is very efficient and is based on patterns
of movements. Our theoretical starting point is that the dynamics of the joint movements is …

We review a number of self-organizing-robot systems that are able to extract features from
haptic sensory information. They are all based on self-organizing maps (SOMs). First, we …

We present a system-level connectionist model of pupil control that includes brain regions
believed to influence the size of the pupil. It includes parts of the sympathetic and …

This chapter introduces the modular humanoid robot Myon, covering its mechatronical
design, embedded low-level software, distributed processing architecture, and the …

We present a study of a novel variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) called the
Associative Self-Organizing Map (A-SOM). The A-SOM is similar to the SOM and thus …

Reinforcement learning systems usually assume that a value function is defined over all
states (or state-action pairs) that can immediately give the value of a particular state or …

We propose a hierarchical neural architecture able to recognise observed human actions.
Each layer in the architecture represents increasingly complex human activity features. The …

Autonomous machines are in the near future likely to increasingly interact with humans, and
carry out their functions outside controlled settings. Both of these developments increase the …
