(English) Walkthrough and demonstration of curious robots (VIDEO)
Caption
The virtual robots featured in the study. During each simulation, the robot is instructed by a command voice to complete a task, while a feedback voice narrates its actions, allowing it to learn from its own behavior.
Halfway through training, the curious robots appeared to engage in play-like behavior, repeatedly experimenting with actions that are entirely different from what they’re commanded to do and are rewarded for. This could be explained by their internal motivation, which rewards novel behaviors — and this behavior helps them learn to generalize task types.
