Description - Toward Learning Robots by Walter Van de Velde
The contributions in "Toward Learning Robots" address the question of how a robot can be designed to autonomously acquire whatever it needs to realize adequate behaviour in a complex environment. Discussions of issues, techniques and experiments in machine learning focus on improving ease of programming and enhancing robustness in unpredictable and changing environments, given limitations of time and resource available to researchers. The authors show practical progress toward a set of abstractions and techniques to describe and automate various apsects of learning in autonomous systems. The close interaction of such a system with the world reveals opportunities for new architectures and learning scenarios and for grounding symbolic representations, though such problems as noise, choice of language, abstraction level of representation and operationality have to be faced head-on.
