Chapter 76 — Evolutionary Robotics

iCub language comprehension

iCub robots executing imperative commands. iCub robots, provided with a camera, proprio and tactile sensors, react to imperative sentences such as "touch the yellow object" or "grasp the red object" by executing the corresponding behaviors. Robots evolved for the ability to understand and execute a sub-set of all the sentences that can be generated by combining three action words (reach, touch, and grasp) and three object words (red, yellow, and blue) display an ability also to comprehend and execute sentences never experienced before.
