Petitage: A Case Study in Developmental Robotics

Abstract

In the present paper we describe several autonomous agent architectures developed in the last 5 years, and inspired by mostly by Piaget's genetic epistemology. In the introduction part we give an overview of the developments in AI and robotics after the behaviorist turn in the mid `80s and propose a tentative taxonomy of the approaches that followed according to their treatment of representation. Then we give
