--- abstract: 'Grounding symbolic representations in perception is a key and difficult issue for artificial intelligence. The ”Talking Heads” experiment (Steels and Kaplan, 2002) explores an interesting coupling between grounding and social learning of language. In the first version of this experiment, two cameras were interacting in a simplified visual environment made of colored shapes on a white board and they developed a shared, grounded lexicon. We present here the beginning of a new experiment which is an extension of the original one with two autonomous robots instead of two cameras and a complex and unconstrained visual environment. We review the difficulties raised specifically by the embodiment of the agents and propose some directions to address these questions.' altloc: - http://asip.lucs.lu.se/ftp/pub/LUCS_Studies/LUCS117/baillie.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'August 25-27, 2004' conference: 'Fourth International Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems' confloc: 'Genoa, Italy' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Baillie given: Jean-Christophe honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2004 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-04-14 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/40/54 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Berthouze given: Luc honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kozima given: Hideki honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Prince given: Christopher G. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Sandini given: Giulio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Stojanov given: Georgi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Metta given: Giorgio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Balkenius given: Christian honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4054 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4054/1/baillie.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: 'symbolic representation, symbol grounding, social language learning, autonomous robots, embodied agents' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:49 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 107-110 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:55:16 subjects: - comp-sci-mach-learn - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-robot succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Grounding Symbols in Perception with two Interacting Autonomous Robots type: confpaper userid: 3507 volume: 117
