Active learning of inverse models with intrinsically motivated goal exploration in robots (2013, positive): “Second, we will use a heuristic inspired by observations of infants who sometimes prepare their reaching movements by starting from a same rest position [81], by resetting the robot to such a rest position, which allows reducing the set of starting states used to perform a task.”
Intrinsically Motivated Learning of Real-World Sensorimotor Skills with Developmental Constraints (2013, methodology): “Developmental Constraints for the Reduction of the Initiation Set: to improve the quality of the learnt inverse model, we add a heuristic inspired by observations of Berthier et al. (Berthier et al., 1999) who noticed that infant's reaching attempts were often preceded by movements that either eleva”
Development of reaching in infancy (2006, background): “…in reaching speed with increasing distance (e.g., Berthier et al. 1996), and while this relationship was not observed at the very onset of reaching (Berthier et al. 1999), the correlation coefficient between average or maximum speed and distance was 0.42 and 0.43, respectively, in the current data…”
Intrinsically motivated goal exploration for active motor learning in robots: A case study (2010, methodology): “Initiation Set: to improve the quality of the learnt inverse model, we add a heuristic inspired by observations of Berthier et al. [ 14 ] who noticed that infant’s reaching attempts were often preceded by movements that either elevated their hand or moved their hand back to their side.”
