Structures, inner values, hierarchies and stages: essentials for developmental robot architectures
In this paper we try to locate the essential components needed for a developmental robot architecture. We take the vocabulary and the main concepts from Piaget’s genetic epistemology and Vygotsky’s activity theory. After proposing an outline for a general developmental architecture, we describe the architectures that we have been developing in the recent years - Petitagé and Vygovorotsky. According to this outline, various contemporary works in autonomous agents can be classified, in an attempt to get a glimpse into the big picture and make the advances and open problems visible
Interactivist approach to representation in epigenetic agents
Interactivism is a vast and rather ambitious philosophical
and theoretical system originally developed by Mark
Bickhard, which covers plethora of aspects related to
mind and person. Within interactivism, an agent is
regarded as an action system: an autonomous, self-organizing,
self-maintaining entity, which can exercise
actions and sense their effects in the environment it
inhabits. In this paper, we will argue that it is especially
suited for treatment of the problem of representation in
epigenetic agents. More precisely, we will elaborate on
process-based ontology for representations, and will
sketch a way of discussing about architectures for
epigenetic agents in a general manner
Anisotropic flux creep in Bi2212:Pb single crystal in crossed magnetic fields
An experimental study of magnetic flux penetration under crossed magnetic
fields in Bi2212:Pb single crystals is performed by the magneto-optic
technique. The anisotropy of the flux creep rate induced by the in-plane
magnetic field is observed at K. This observation confirms the
existence of the three-dimensional flux line structure in Bi2212:Pb at low
temperatures. An asymmetry of the flux relaxation with respect to the direction
of the in-plane field is found. This effect can be attributed to the influence
of the laminar structure on the pinning in Bi2212:Pb single crystals.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure

Hydraulic Bipedal Robots Locomotion Mathematical Modeling
AbstractThe paper delivered describes a new approach into kinematics and dynamics of the robots with a tree-like kinematic structure based on the elements of graph theory. Block-matrix equation for robot's movement within generalized coordinates is valid for different tree-like kinematic structures with no change in tracing. It permits to develop generalized software for the whole class of tree-like kinematic structure. Some of the modelling details in hydraulic actuator of bipedal robot are submitted. Experimental research data of robot's walking based on mathematical modelling are compared to those of a pilot model
