From Sensorimotor Experiences to Cognitive Development: How Does Experiential Diversity Influence the Development of anEpigenetic Robot?

Using an epigenetic model, in this paper we investigate the importance of sensorimotor experiences and environmental conditions in the emergence of more advanced cognitive abilities in an autonomous robot. We let the robot develop in three environments affording very different (physical and social)...
