How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social
than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. Most robots are not very friendly …

Abstract Service robots, working in evolving human environments, need the ability to
continuously learn to recognize new objects. Ideally, they should act as humans do, by …

A major challenge in robotics is the ability to learn, from novel experiences, new behavior
that is useful for achieving new goals and skills. Autonomous systems must be able to learn …

Humans and animals undergo morphological development (MD) processes from infancy to
adulthood that have been shown to facilitate learning. However, most of the work on …

Robotic hand-eye coordination is recognized as an important skill to deal with complex real
environments. Conventional robotic hand-eye coordination methods merely transfer …

The young infant explores its body, its sensorimotor system, and the immediately accessible
parts of its environment, over the course of a few months creating a model of peripersonal …

Examining the different stages of learning through play in humans during early life has been
a topic of interest for various scholars. Play evolves from practice to symbolic and then later …

In this paper, we address the issue robots develo** a reaching ability, as human infants
do. Specifically, a novel infant-inspired framework is proposed based on recent findings that …

The act of reaching for an object is a fundamental yet complex skill for a robotic agent,
requiring a high degree of visuomotor control and coordination. In consideration of dynamic …

In the field of cognitive bioinspired robotics, we focus on autonomous development, and
propose a possible model to explain how humans generate and pursue new goals that are …
