“Robot
Learning”

Abstract: We describe a memory-based
approach to robot learning, in which experiences, observed
behavior performed by others, and plans are stored in
long term memory. This approach has its roots in the
motor tape hypothesis in neuroscience and the memory
drum hypothesis in psychology. The modern version of
this theory is used to generate rich behavior for humanoid
robots and videogame characters. The talk will describe
several implementations of the memory-based approach.
Speaker's Bio:Chris Atkeson is a Professor
