Do As I Can, Not As I Say: Grounding Language in Robotic Affordances (2022, background): “0 otherwise, the value function trained via RL corresponds to an affordance function [10] that specifies whether a skill is possible in a given state.”
Recurrent Independent Mechanisms (2019, background): “There is also an intriguing connection between the selective activation in RIMs and the concept of affordances from cognitive psychology (Gibson, 1977; Cisek & Kalaska, 2010).”
Towards Continual Reinforcement Learning: A Review and Perspectives (2020, background): “…the agent-environment boundary is an open concept because the space of affordances (Khetarpal, Ahmed, Comanici, Abel, and Precup, 2020b) might evolve over time (Pezzulo and Cisek, 2016) and may only emerge as a result of agent-environment interaction (Gibson, 1977; Heft, 1989; Chemero, 2003).”
Learning to Speak and Act in a Fantasy Text Adventure Game (2019, background): “These constraints are what indirectly provide an agent with object affordances, as the list of possible actions provides all ways the agent can interact with their environment (Gibson, 1977).”
Interactive Fiction Games: A Colossal Adventure (2019, background): “Also known as affordance extraction (Gibson 1977; Fulda et al. 2017), the problem of choosing which actions or verbs to pair with a particular noun is central to IF game playing.”
What Can You Do with a Rock? Affordance Extraction via Word Embeddings (2017, background): “The term affordances [Gibson, 1977] refers to the subset of possible actions which are feasible in a given situation.”
Designing for Learning in an Open World (2012, background): “The seventh international conference on E-learning for Knowledge-Based Society, Bangkok.

Learning Generalizable Control Programs (2011, background): “Affordances—in the sense of Gibson [6]—describe the latent possibilities for action in the environment and provide a direct means of organizing functional knowledge in embodied systems.”
Learning Visual Object Categories for Robot Affordance Prediction (2010, background): ““Traversability” is an example of an affordance, a concept that was originated by Gibson (1977, 1979) to refer to the “action possibilities” latent in the environment.”
Smartphones distract parents from cultivating feelings of connection when spending time with their children (2019, background): “Gibson offers a starting point with the concept of affordances (Gibson, 1977).”
Valkyrie: NASA's First Bipedal Humanoid Robot (2015, background): “The concept of affordances was initially introduced in the psychological literature by Gibson (Gibson, 1977) as a means of describing cognitive constructs that assign functional merit to the environment.”
Where science starts: spontaneous experiments in preschoolers' exploratory play. (2011, positive): “, Adolph, Eppler, & Gibson, 1993; Berger, Adolph, & Lobo, 2005; Brown, 1990; Lockman, 2000; Norman, 1988, 1999) suggests that learners discover action possibilities or affordances (Gibson, 1977) in the environment through exploration.”
