Abstract In many robotic applications, softness leads to improved performance, robustness, and safety, while lowering manufacturing cost, increasing versatility, and simplifying control. The advantages of soft robots derive from the […]
Abstract In the context of embodied artificial intelligence, morphological computation refers to processes, which are conducted by the body (and environment) that otherwise would have to be performed by the […]
Abstract There are numerous examples that show how the exploitation of the body’s physical properties can lift the burden on the brain. Examples are grasping, swimming, locomotion, and motion detection. […]
Abstract The question of how an agent is affected by its embodiment has attracted growing attention in recent years. A new field of artificial intelligence has emerged, which is based […]
Abstract The field of embodied intelligence emphasises the importance of the morphology and environment with respect to the behaviour of a cognitive system. The contribution of the morphology to the […]
Abstract We present a framework for designing cheap control architectures of embodied agents. Our derivation is guided by the classical problem of universal approximation, whereby we explore the possibility of […]
Abstract This work presents a novel learning method in the context of embodied artificial intelligence and self-organization, which has as few assumptions and restrictions as possible about the world and […]
Abstract One of the main challenges in the field of embodied artificial intelligence is the open-ended autonomous learning of complex behaviors. Our approach is to use task-independent, information-driven intrinsic motivation(s) […]
Introduction gomi is a software package for the evaluation of morphological intelligence measures on data. gomi includes all currently available morphological intelligence measures. This includes measures with continuous estimators as […]
This post explains how to install Entropy++ on MacOS and Linux (Debian) and discusses how the packages can be used in various examples. Installing Entropy++ on macOS Download the required […]
