Evolutionary Robotics Minimal Cognition Sect 3 Perceiving Affordances

Evolutionary Robotics Minimal Cognition Sect. 3: Perceiving Affordances (from wikipedia): What do these objects have in common? “An affordance is a quality of an object, or an environment, that allows an individual to perform an action. ” What is common about them? What things should a visual pattern recognizer look for? Slocum, Downey, Beer (2000).

Once it moves, sensors turned off di = horizontal distance between object’s final position and agent’s final position. Slocum, Downey, Beer (2000).

Evolutionary Robotics Minimal Cognition Sect. 6: Selective Attention pi = |di, 1| + |di, 2| di, j = horizontal distance between object j’s final position and agent’s final position. PO = Passing objects problem: obj further away lands first. OP = object permanence problem: chasing one object causes the other to pass out of view. Slocum, Downey, Beer (2000).
