"Action-Driven Perception – Neural Architectures Based on Sensomotor Principles"

Abstract:

The active nature of perception and the intimate relation of action and cognition has been emphasized in philosophy and cognitive science for a long time. However, most of the current (computational) approaches do not consider the fundamental role of action for perception. Inspired by theories rooted in the research field of embodied cognition the scope of this thesis has been to design artificial neural architectures for the learning of sensorimotor laws. Guided by the core concept that an agent actually needs to act to perceive, a series of computational studies, including simulations and real-world robot experiments, have been conducted. It is shown that considering a set of common sensorimotor design principles results in goal-directed behavior of artificial agents. In this talk experiments as well as the underlying sensorimotor design principles will be presented and discussed.
