Intrinsic Motivation Systems for Autonomous Mental Development
TL;DR: The mechanism of Intelligent Adaptive Curiosity is presented, an intrinsic motivation system which pushes a robot towards situations in which it maximizes its learning progress, thus permitting autonomous mental development.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is Intrinsic Motivation? A Typology of Computational Approaches.
TL;DR: This paper sets the ground for a systematic operational study of intrinsic motivation by presenting a formal typology of possible computational approaches, partly based on existing computational models, but also presents new ways of conceptualizing intrinsic motivation.
