abstract: |-
  This paper focuses on exploring how learning and development can be structured in synthetic (robot) systems. We present a developmental assembler for constructing reusable and temporally extended actions in a sequence. The discussion adopts the traditions
  of dynamic pattern theory in which behavior
  is an artifact of coupled dynamical systems
  with a number of controllable degrees of freedom. In our model, the events that delineate
  control decisions are derived from the pattern
  of (dis)equilibria on a working subset of sensorimotor policies. We show how this architecture can be used to accomplish sequential
  knowledge gathering and representation tasks
  and provide examples of the kind of developmental milestones that this approach has
  already produced in our lab.
