Summary on Grant Application Form
The methods are inspired by concepts in developmental psychology, have some novel characteristics, and promise to be of considerable value for future generation domestic embedded agents in spatial domains. We aim to deliver results and demonstrations of a simplified working handleye system that learns to coordinate its sensory and motor systems from initial primitive exploratory acts to skilled reaching and coordinated action towards objects and events in the environment.Novel aspects include: a new design of home robot, with several new features; the replacement of textual programming with learning by example; adaptation to user changes, permitting changing preferences, learning new routes and task correction and reconfiguration.
