This editorial article introduces the Frontiers Research Topic and Electronic Book (eBook)
on Intrinsic Motivations (IMs), which involved the publication of 24 articles with the journals …

Sensorimotor control and learning are fundamental prerequisites for cognitive development
in humans and animals. Evidence from behavioral sciences and neuroscience suggests that …

This paper considers a cognitive architecture that revolves around a network memory based
Long-Term Memory and how it can lead to a working lifelong learning system that can deal …

This paper surveys value systems for developmental cognitive robotics. A value system
permits a biological brain to increase the likelihood of neural responses to selected external …

Designing robots has usually implied knowing beforehand the tasks to be carried out and in
what domains. However, in the case of fully autonomous robots this is not possible …

Collective behaviours such as swarm formations of autonomous agents offer the advantages
of efficient movement, redundancy, and potential for human guidance of a single swarm …

As a unifying concept in economics, game theory, and operations research, even in the
Robotics and AI field, the utility is used to evaluate the level of individual needs, preferences …

We present a framework for robotic cognitive control endowed with adaptive mechanisms for
attentional regulation and task execution. In cognitive psychology, cognitive control is the …

This paper first presents a critical analysis of an existing game (APEX), designed by
researchers in psychoacoustics only, to measure psychoacoustic thresholds in …

Abstract Cognitive Developmental Robotics relies on lifelong open-ended learning
processes, where mechanisms are needed to allow the robot to self-discover and self-select …
