Bootstrap Learning of Foundational Representations.
Developmental Robotics, AAAI Spring Symposium Series, 2005.
To be autonomous, intelligent robots must learn the foundations
of commonsense knowledge from their own sensorimotor experience
in the world. We describe four recent research results that
show how a robot learning agent can bootstrap from the ``blooming
buzzing confusion'' of the pixel level to a higher-level ontology
including distinctive states, places, actions, and objects.
