It interfaces with the new generation of Gazebo, part of the Ignition Robotics suite, which provides three main improvements for reinforcement learning applications compared to the alternatives: 1) the modular architecture enables using the simulator as a C++ library, simplifying the interconnection with external software; 2) multiple physics and rendering engines are supported as plugins, simplifying their selection during the execution; 3) the new distributed simulation capability allows simulating complex scenarios while sharing the load on multiple workers and machines.

The method is composed of a grasp stabilization controller and two exploratory behaviours to capture the shape and the softness of an object.

This paper introduces a cognitive architecture for a humanoid robot to engage in a proactive, mixed-initiative exploration and manipulation of its environment, where the initiative can originate from both the human and the robot.

We consider object recognition in the context of lifelong learning, where a robotic agent learns to discriminate between a growing number of object classes as it accumulates experience about the environment.
