THE PLAYGROUND EXPERIMENT

This experiment was designed to show how a developmental robot using artificial curiosity can have a self-organized developmental trajectories with sequences of behavioural and cognitive stages of increasing complexity.

This project developped with Frédéric Kaplan, Véréna Hafner and Andrew White has a particular web site:
