In autonomous robotics, so-called artificial potential fields are often used to plan and control the motion of a physical robot. In this paper, we propose to use an artificial e...
—This paper introduces a new approach to develop robots that can learn general affordance relations from their experiences. Our approach is a part of larger efforts to develop a ...
