Developmental Learning Tutorial * Olivier Georgeon * Alain Mille * Florian Bernard * Rémi Cassado * Simon Gay Developmental Learning consists of learning everything from scratch like a newborn baby. At the same time, the agent must discover the structure of its body, learn the structure of its environment, and develop its cognitive capabilities. Implementing an artificial system (robot) capable of such learning constitutes an immense challenge for the field of artificial intelligen…

Enaction, Complex Systems and Cognitive Architectures Friday November 6, afternoon. Chair Leonardo Lana de Carvalho Abstract The enactive theory of cognition provided a portal for the design of new biologically inspired cognitive architectures. However, differently from cognitivism and connectionism, the enactive theory has not yet a prototypical computer model, despite of the wide variety of implementations that can illustrate the fundamental concepts of this approach. Nevertheless, a diff…
