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

Incremental Slow Feature Analysis: Adaptive and Episodic Learning from High-Dimensional Input Streams
TL;DR: A novel incremental version of SFA (IncSFA) that adapts along with non-stationary environments, is amenable to episodic training, is not corrupted by outliers, and is covariance-free, making it a generally useful unsupervised preprocessor for autonomous learning agents and robots.

Robot End Effector Tracking Using Predictive Multisensory Integration.
TL;DR: A biologically inspired model that enables a humanoid robot to learn how to track its end effector by integrating visual and proprioceptive cues as it interacts with the environment is proposed, which has properties that are qualitatively similar to the characteristics of human eye-hand coordination.

Mapping Language to Vision in a Real-World Robotic Scenario
TL;DR: The results suggest that the proposed mapping procedure is robust, resistant against noise and shows better performance than one-step mapping for all levels of noise in the linguistic input, as well as slower performance degradation with increasing noise.
