Grounding Perception: A Developmental Approach to Sensorimotor Contingencies
Sensorimotor contingency theory offers a promising account of the nature of perception, a topic rarely addressed in the robotics community. We propose a developmental framework to address the problem of the autonomous acquisition of sensorimotor contingencies by a naive robot. While exploring the world, the robot internally encodes contingencies as predictive models that capture the structure they imply in its sensorimotor experience. Three preliminary applications are presented to illustrate our approach to the acquisition of perceptive abilities: discovering the environment, discovering objects, and discovering a visual field.

Grounding the Experience of a Visual Field through Sensorimotor Contingencies
Artificial perception is traditionally handled by hand-designing task specific algorithms. However, a truly autonomous robot should develop perceptive abilities on its own, by interacting with its environment, and adapti…
A Non-linear Approach to Space Dimension Perception by a Naive Agent
Developmental Robotics offers a new approach to numerous AI features that are often taken as granted. Traditionally, perception is supposed to be an inherent capacity of the agent. Moreover, it largely relies on models b…
Grounding object perception in a naive agent's sensorimotor experience
Artificial object perception usually relies on a priori defined models and feature extraction algorithms. We study how the concept of object can be grounded in the sensorimotor experience of a naive agent. Without any kn…
ObjectAutonomous Grounding of Visual Field Experience through Sensorimotor Prediction
In a developmental framework, autonomous robots need to explore the world and learn how to interact with it. Without an a priori model of the system, this opens the challenging problem of having robots master their inter…
A Sensorimotor Perspective on Grounding the Semantic of Simple Visual Features
In Machine Learning and Robotics, the semantic content of visual features is usually provided to the system by a human who interprets its content. On the contrary, strictly unsupervised approaches have difficulties relat…
