Brad Hayes’ paper to appear ICDL 2015

May 24, 2015
A paper co-authored by lab member Brad Hayes was accepted and will appear at the 5th joint IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning and on Epigenetic Robotics (IEEE ICDL-EPIROB) in Providence, Rhode Island on August 13-16, 2015. Brad co-authored the paper “Enhancing Agent Safety through Autonomous Environment Adaptation” with Benjamin Rosman and Brian Scassellati. 
 
About the Conference (from the IEEE ICDL-EPIROB website)
The past decade has seen the emergence of a new scientific field that studies how intelligent biological and artificial systems develop sensorimotor, cognitive and social abilities, over extended periods of time, through dynamic interactions with their physical and social environments. This field lies at the intersection of a number of scientific and engineering disciplines including Neuroscience, Developmental Psychology, Developmental Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Computational Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics. Various terms have been associated with this new field such as Autonomous Mental Development, Epigenetic Robotics, Developmental Robotics, etc., and several scientific meetings have been established. The two most prominent conference series of this field, the International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL) and the International Conference on Epigenetic Robotics (EpiRob), are now joining forces and invite submissions for a joint meeting in 2013, to explore and extend the interdisciplinary boundaries of this field.
