The Ingredients of Real World Robotic Reinforcement Learning
Henry Zhu,Justin Yu,Abhishek Gupta,Dhruv Shah,Kristian Hartikainen,Avi Singh,Vikash Kumar,Sergey Levine +7 more
TL;DR: This work discusses the required elements of a robotic system that can continually and autonomously improve with data collected in the real world, and proposes a particular instantiation of such a system, and demonstrates the efficacy of this proposed system on dexterous robotic manipulation tasks in simulation and thereal world.
Beyond Gazing, Pointing, and Reaching: A Survey of Developmental Robotics
Max Lungarella,Giogio Metta +1 more
TL;DR: Developmental robotics is an emerging field located at the intersection of developmental psychology and robotics, that has lately attracted quite some attention as mentioned in this paper, giving a survey of a variety of research projects dealing with or inspired by developmental issues, and outlining possible future directions.
Fostering the NAO Platform as an Elderly care Robot First Steps Toward a Low-Cost Off-the-Shelf Solution
Jessica P. M. Vital,Micael S. Couceiro,Nuno M. M. Rodrigues,Carlos M. Figueiredo,Nuno M. F. Ferreira +4 more
TL;DR: The RIA robot is an adapted NAO low-cost platform equipped with several sensors that can measure different parameters like body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate, laying the foundations for a whole new paradigm in elderly care.

Fostering the NAO platform as an elderly care robot
Jessica P. M. Vital,Micael S. Couceiro,Nuno M. M. Rodrigues,Carlos M. Figueiredo,Nuno M. F. Ferreira +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension to the NAO robot, denoted as RIA, is developed at the Engineering Institute of Coimbra (ISEC), which is not only built for a social interaction with the elderly but also as an autonomous tool to promote professional care through the analysis of health and environmental parameters.

Telerobotics, Automation, and Human Supervisory Control
TL;DR: Theory and models of supervisory control of teleoperators for space, undersea, and other applications are discussed in this paper, where the social implications of telerobotics, automation, and super-visory control are discussed.

Is imitation learning the route to humanoid robots
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in artificial intelligence and neural computation: learning from imitation and the development of humanoid robots is presented. But the authors focus on three important issues: efficient motor learning, the connection between action and perception, and modular motor control in the form of movement primitives.

Cognitive Developmental Robotics As a New Paradigm for the Design of Humanoid Robots
TL;DR: CDR may provide ways of understanding human beings that go beyond the current level of explanation found in the natural and social sciences and hold promise because they have many degrees of freedom and sense modalities and must face the challenges of scalability that are often side- stepped in simpler domains.
