"4966","Ongoing Emergence: A Core Concept in Epigenetic Robotics","We propose ongoing emergence as a core concept in epigenetic robotics. Ongoing emergence refers to the continuous development and integration of new skills and is exhibited when six criteria are satisfied: (1) continuous skill acquisition, (2) incorporation of new skills with existing skills, (3) autonomous development of values and goals, (4) bootstrapping of initial skills, (5) stability of skills, and (6) reproducibility. In this paper we: (a) provide a conceptual synthesis of ongoing emergence based on previous theorizing, (b) review current research in epigenetic robotics in light of ongoing emergence, (c) provide prototypical examples of ongoing emergence from infant development, and (d) outline computational issues relevant to creating robots exhibiting ongoing emergence.","http://cogprints.org/4966/","Prince, Christopher and Helder, Nathan and Hollich, George","Berthouze, Luc and Kaplan, Frédéric and Kozima, Hideki and Yano, Hiroyuki and Konczak, Jürgen and Metta, Giorgio and Nadel, Jacqueline and Sandini, Giulio and Stojanov, Georgi and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Prince, Christopher</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Helder, Nathan</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Hollich, George</span>     (2005)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4966/\"><em>Ongoing Emergence: A Core Concept in Epigenetic Robotics.</em></a>       [Conference Paper]           ","","2005"
