Purpose for Open-Ended Learning Robots: A Computational Taxonomy, Definition, and Operationalisation

arXiv:2403.02514v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: Autonomous open-ended learning (OEL) robots are able to cumulatively acquire new skills and knowledge through direct interaction with the environment, for example relying on the guidance of intrinsic motivations and self-generated goals. OEL robots have a high relevance for applications as they can use the autonomously acquired knowledge to accomplish tasks relevant for their human users. OEL robots, however, encounter an important limitation: this may lead to the acquisition of knowledge that is not so …
