A System-Level Brain Model for Enactive Haptic Perception in a Humanoid Robot
Perception is not a passive process but the result of an interaction between an organism and the environment. This is especially clear in haptic perception that depends entirely on tactile exploration of an ob...

Elements of Cognition for General Intelligence
What can artificial intelligence learn from the cognitive sciences? We review some fundamental aspects of how human cognition works and relate it to different brain structures and their function. A central the...

Adaptive Inhibition for Optimal Energy Consumption by Animals, Robots and Neurocomputers
In contrast to artificial systems, animals must forage for food. In biology, the availability of energy is typically both precarious and highly variable. Most importantly, the very structure of organisms is de...

The Expression of Mental States in a Humanoid Robot
We explore to what degree movement together with facial features in a humanoid robot, such as eyes and mouth, can be used to convey mental states. Several animation variants were iteratively tested in a series...

Does a Robot Tutee Increase Children’s Engagement in a Learning-by-Teaching Situation?
This paper presents initial attempts to combine a humanoid robot with the teachable agent approach. Several design choices are discussed, including the decision to use a robot instead of a virtual agent and wh...

The Indiana Experiment: Investigating the Role of Anticipation and Attention in a Dynamic Environment
We investigating the role of anticipation and attention in a dynamic environment in a number of large scale simulations of an agent that tries to negotiate a number of gates that continuously open and close. I...

Prediction Time in Anticipatory Systems
We investigated the role of the length of the future time interval in which an agent predicts what will happen. A number of simulated robot experiments were performed where four thieves try to collect pieces o...

Anticipation in Attention
Although attention can be purely reactive, like when we react to an unexpected event, in most cases, attention is under deliberate control anticipating events in the world. Directing attention and preparing fo...

Endowing Artificial Systems with Anticipatory Capabilities: Success Cases
This book has provided various theoretical perspectives on anticipatory processes in natural and artificial cognitive systems. Advantages have been proposed and confirmed in various detailed case studies, whic...

Anticipatory models in gaze control: a developmental model
Infants gradually learn to predict the motion of moving targets and change from a strategy that mainly depends on saccades to one that depends on anticipatory control of smooth pursuit. A model is described th...

An Experimental Study of Anticipation in Simple Robot Navigation
This paper presents an experimental study using two robots. In the experiment, the robots navigated through an area with or without obstacles and had the goal to shift places with each other. Four different ap...
