TLDR
The prototype of a new computer simulator for the humanoid robot iCub, developed as part of a joint effort with the European project "ITALK" on the integration and transfer of action and language knowledge in cognitive robots.Abstract:
This paper presents the prototype of a new computer simulator for the humanoid robot iCub. The iCub is a new open-source humanoid robot developed as a result of the "RobotCub" project, a collaborative European project aiming at developing a new open-source cognitive robotics platform. The iCub simulator has been developed as part of a joint effort with the European project "ITALK" on the integration and transfer of action and language knowledge in cognitive robots. This is available open-source to all researchers interested in cognitive robotics experiments with the iCub humanoid platform.read more

TTS-Driven Synthetic Behaviour-Generation Model for Artificial Bodies:
TL;DR: The behaviour generation system proposed in this paper is able to specify expressive behaviour strongly resembling natural movement performed within social interaction and can be recreated with a very high-degree of naturalness, either by ECAs or humanoid robots alike.

Long-Short Term Memory Networks for Modelling Embodied Mathematical Cognition in Robots
TL;DR: An experimental evaluation of the Long- Short Term Memory networks for modeling the simple mathematical operation of single-digits addition in a cognitive robot creates an association between the proprioceptive information from finger counting and the handwritten digits of the MNIST dataset.
