ASSOCIATIVE NEURAL MODELS FOR BIOMIMETIC MULTI-MODAL LEARNING IN A MIRROR NEURON-BASED ROBOT

摘要

www.his.sunderland.ac.uk By using neurocognitive evidence on mirror neuron system concepts the MirrorBot project has developed neural models for intelligent robot behaviour. These models employ diverse learning approaches such as reinforcement learning, self-organisation and associative learning to perform cognitive robotic operations such as language grounding in actions, object recognition, localisation and docking. In this paper we describe architectures based on an associative self-organising framework which were designed to combine multimodal inputs of language, vision and motor programs to produce complex robot behaviours. 1.
