Learning at the Ends: From Hand to Tool Affordances in Humanoid Robots

no code implementations9 Apr 2018 Giovanni Saponaro, Pedro Vicente, Atabak Dehban, Lorenzo Jamone, Alexandre Bernardino, José Santos-Victor

One of the open challenges in designing robots that operate successfully in the unpredictable human environment is how to make them able to predict what actions they can perform on objects, and what their effects will be, i. e., the ability to perceive object affordances.
