Title

Automatic Determination of Both Sensorimotor Primitives and Topology for Robots with Unknown or Dynamic Morphology

Abstract

However sophisticated a body, sensorimotor model, and controller, design-time coupling may stifle the development and emergence of general intelligence. Embodiment is required for an agent to acquire and ground knowledge through interactions with the environment. Disembodiment is required to expose those requirements necessary for an agent to become aware of its body, layout, and capabilities so that it can interact with the environment at inception and throughout its life. The ability to accommodate changes to body (better or worse), to manipulate tools, and adapt to a changing environment require greater self-awareness, modeling, and predictive capabilities. Disembodiment requirements include a mechanism for discovering the parts that comprise a body, the body’s topology (which may be disjoint but connected through communication), a mechanism for relating actions to sensory feedback, the ability to exploit sensorimotor relationships for planning, and communicable construct for executing a particular action. This review supports further research by defining key disembodiment capabilities, areas of agreement, or areas that warrant additional study.
