Curiosity can be understood as a family of mechanisms that evolved to allow agents to maximize their knowledge of the useful properties of the world. In this project we will study how different internal drives of an animal, e.g. for novelty, for action, for liking, are combined to generate the rich variety of behaviors found in nature. We will approach such challenge by studying monkeys, children and by developing new computational tools.
Informal International Partners
Pierre-Yves Oudeyer and Didier Roy have create a collaboration with LSRO EPFL and Pr Francesco Mondada, about Robotics and education. The two teams co-organize the annual conference "Robotics and Education"in Bordeaux. Didier Roy teaches "Robotics and Education" in EPFL several times a year.
Pierre-Yves Oudeyer collaborated with Edith Law's HCI research group at University of Waterloo on the topic of "Curiosity in HCI system". They co-organized the "Designing for curiosity" workshop at CHI 2017, Denver, Colorado, and obtained a grant from Univ. Bordeaux to set up a project with Inria Potioc team and with Dana Kulic, Robotics lab, Univ. Waterloo.
Didier Roy has created a collaboration with HEP VAud (Teachers High School) and Bernard Baumberger and Morgane Chevalier, about Robotics and education. Scientific discussions and shared professional training.
Florian Golemo is in an active collaboration with Aaron Courville from MILA Montreal to work on the IGLU project together.
William Schueller visited Vittorio Loreto's team in Rome from January till August 2017, funded by the Idex program of the University of Bordeaux. Vittorio Loreto is an Associate Professor in Physics at University Sapienza of Rome, and head of the research team Social Dynamics Lab. William Schueller also participated to a conference organized by V. Loreto in Rome, the Kreyon Conference, by giving a talk and presenting a user experiment: an interactive Naming Game.
Participation in Other International Programs
David Filliat participates in the ITEA3 DANGUN project with Renault S.A.S. in france and partners in Korea. The purpose of the DANGUN project is to develop a Traffic Jam Pilot function with autonomous capabilities using low-cost automotive components operating in France and Korea. By incorporating low-cost advanced sensors and simplifying the vehicle designs as well as testing in different scenarios (France & Korea), a solution that is the result of technical cooperation between both countries should lead to more affordable propositions to respond to client needs in the fast moving market of intelligent mobility.
