What I do

My PhD project aims to learn a representation of the world based on robot actions and grounded in the affordances a robot perceives for objects. The resulting representation will provide a link between the robot's low-level continuous representations of the world and high-level discrete representations used by a high-level action planner, and could form the basis of robot-robot or robot-human communication.
