We investigate how it is possible to shape robot behaviour adopting a molecular or molar point of view. These two ways to approach the issue are inspired by Learning Psychology, wh...
Abstract— One of the major challenges in both action generation for robotics and in the understanding of human motor control is to learn the “building blocks of movement genera...
Abstract. Wild rodents learn the danger-predicting meaning of predator bird calls through the paring of cues which are an aversive stimulus (immediate danger signal or unconditione...
—A novel wake-sleep learning architecture for processing a robot’s facial expressions is introduced. According to neuroscience evidence, associative learning of emotional respo...
Abstract—In this work we present a variational formulation for a multilayer perceptron neural network. With this formulation any learning task for the neural network is defined ...
