Curiosity Search: Producing Generalists by Encouraging Individuals to Continually Explore and Acquire Skills throughout Their Lifetime.

PloS one
Natural animals are renowned for their ability to acquire a diverse and general skill set over the course of their lifetime. However, research in artificial intelligence has yet to produce agents that acquire all or even most of the available skills ...

Investigation of rat exploratory behavior via evolving artificial neural networks.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Neuroevolution comprises the use of evolutionary computation to define the architecture and/or to train artificial neural networks (ANNs). This strategy has been employed to investigate the behavior of rats in the elevated plus-maze, whic...

Novel plasticity rule can explain the development of sensorimotor intelligence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge for neuroscience. In particular, self-organized behavioral development provides more questions than answers. Are there special functional units for curiosity, motivation, ...

How cockroaches exploit tactile boundaries to find new shelters.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Animals such as cockroaches depend on exploration of unknown environments, and their strategies may inspire robotic approaches. We have previously shown that cockroach behavior, with respect to shelters and the walls of an otherwise empty arena, can ...

Feature-based behavior coding for efficient exploratory analysis using pose estimation.

Behavior research methods
This paper introduces feature-based behavior coding (FBBC), an efficient method for exploratory analysis in behavioral research using pose estimation techniques. FBBC addresses the challenges of traditional behavioral coding methods, particularly in ...

Nostalgia encourages exploration and fosters uncertainty in response to AI technology.

The British journal of social psychology
The burgeoning progress of cutting-edge technology paradoxically evokes nostalgia. How does this emotion influence responses to innovative technology, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)? We hypothesized that two pathways operate concurrently. First...

Social behaviour as an emergent property of embodied curiosity: a robotics perspective.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences
Social interaction is an extremely complex yet vital component in daily life. We present a bottom-up approach for the emergence of social behaviours from the interaction of the curiosity drive, i.e. the intrinsic motivation to learn as much as possib...
