--- abstract: "This paper investigates how robots may emerge a lexicon to communicate complex meanings about actions such as `I am going to the red target' using simple (one-word) utterances. The main issue of the paper concerns the way these complex meanings represent the actions that are performed. It is argued that the meaning of these utterances may be represented without the need for categorising a complex flow of sensorimotor data. To illustrate the point, a simulation is presented in which robots develop such a communication system. The paper concludes by confirming that it is well possible to construct such a lexicon once robots have a number of basic sensorimotor skills available." altloc: - http://www.ling.ed.ac.uk/~paulv/publications/bnaic2002.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: Belgian/Netherlands Artificial Intelligence Conference BNAIC'02 confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Vogt given: Paul honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2003 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-07-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/30/60 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Blockdeel given: H. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Denecker given: M. honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3060 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3060/1/bnaic2002.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'symbol grounding, physical grounding, embodied cognition, language evolution' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:19 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:48:12 subjects: - comp-sci-lang - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-robot succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Anchoring symbols to sensorimotor control type: confpaper userid: 4180 volume: ~
