— In order for humanoid robots to perform skillful tasks, a reliable and scalable computing system that supports hard real-time processing is required. This paper describes a fiv...
The high-level decision making process of an autonomous robot can be seen as an hierarchically organised entity, where strategical decisions are made on the topmost layer, while th...
We present a system for robust robot skill acquisition from kinesthetic demonstrations. This system allows a robot to learn a simple goal-directed gesture, and correctly reproduce...
— We present a framework for the programming of manipulation behavior by means of an intrinsic reward function that encourages the building of deep control knowledge. We show how...
Autonomous robots that can adapt to novel situations has been a long standing vision of robotics, artificial intelligence, and cognitive sciences. Early approaches to this goal du...
