Evolving grounded communication for robots
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 7 (7):
308--312 (2003)Abstract
The computational and robotic synthesis of language
evolution is emerging as a new exciting field of
research. The objective is to come up with precise
operational models of how communities of agents,
equipped with a cognitive apparatus, a sensori-motor
system, and a body, can arrive at shared grounded communication
systems. Such systems may have similar
characteristics to animal communication or human
language. Apart from its technological interest in building
novel applications in the domain of human–robot
or robot–robot interaction, this research is of interest
to the many disciplines concerned with the origins and
evolution of language and communication
