In this paper we present results of computational experiments where multi-objective algorithms were used to tune a controller for blind movements in a room of the LESO experimental building. The blind controller which is based on fuzzy logic was optimized ...
Imitation is the ability to recognize, learn and reproduce the actions of others. In addition to facilitating the transmission of knowledge and skills, it has been suggested that this fundamental cognitive capacity is at the origin of other human faculties ...
Artificial neural networks are applied to many real-world problems, ranging from pattern classification to robot control. In order to design a neural network for a particular task, the choice of an architecture (including the choice of a neuron model), and ...
The manual design of con- trol systems for robotic devices can be challenging. Methods for the automatic synthesis of control systems, such as the evolution of artificial neural networks, are thus widely used in the robotics community. However, in many rob ...

The problem of controlling locomotion is an area in which neuroscience and robotics can fruitfully interact. In this article, I will review research carried out on locomotor central pattern generators (CPGs), i.e. neural circuits capable of producing coord ...
Environments with varying reward contingencies constitute a challenge to many living creatures. In such conditions, animals capable of adaptation and learning derive an advantage. Recent studies suggest that neuromodulatory dynamics are a key factor in reg ...
Over the last decades, calibration techniques have been widely used in robotics since they represent a cost-effective solution for improving the accuracy of robots and machine-tools. They only involve software modification without the necessity of revising ...
memory in biological neural networks. Similarly, artificial neural networks could benefit from modulatory dynamics when facing certain types of learning problem. Here we test this hypothesis by introducing modulatory neurons to enhance or dampen neural pla ...
This is the second episode of the Bayesian saga started with the tutorial on the Bayesian probability. Its aim is showing in very informal terms how supervised learning can be interpreted from the Bayesian viewpoint. The focus is put on supervised learning ...
We propose a novel network model of spiking neurons, without preimposed topology and driven by STDP (Spike-Time-Dependent Plasticity), a temporal Hebbian unsupervised learning mode, based on biological observations of synaptic plasticity. The model is furt ...
