    • Motivation as a Tool for Designing Lifelong Learning Robots 

      Romero, Alejandro; Bellas, Francisco; Becerra Permuy, José Antonio; Duro, Richard J. (IOS Press, 2020)
      [Abstract] Designing robots has usually implied knowing beforehand the tasks to be carried out and in what domains. However, in the case of fully autonomous robots this is not possible. Autonomous robots need to operate ...
    • Studying How Innate Motivations Can Drive Skill Acquisition in Cognitive Robots 

      Romero, Alejandro; Bellas, Francisco; Becerra Permuy, José Antonio; Duro, Richard J. (MDPI, 2019)
      Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of how to bootstrap a cognitive architecture to opportunistically start learning skills in domains where multiple skills can be learned at the same time. To this end, taking ...
