Sensory - motor coordination: The metaphor and beyond
TLDR
We propose that the problem of categorization in the real world is significantly simplified if it is viewed as one of sensory—motor coordination, rather than one of information processing happening “on the input side”. Expand

Towards a theoretical foundation for morphological computation with compliant bodies
TLDR
We present a model for morphological computation with compliant bodies, where a precise mathematical characterization of the potential computational contribution of a complex physical body is feasible. Expand

Evolving Complete Agents using Artificial Ontogeny
In this report we introduce an artificial evolutionary system, Artificial Ontogeny (AO), that uses a developmental encoding scheme to translate a given genotype into a complete agent, which then acts… Expand

Multimodal saliency-based bottom-up attention a framework for the humanoid robot iCub
TLDR
This work presents a multimodal bottom-up attention system for the humanoid robot iCub where the robot's decisions to move eyes and neck are based on visual and acoustic saliency maps. Expand
