Measuring information transfer in a soft robotic arm
Kohei Nakajima, Nico Schmidt, Rolf Pfeifer
Soft robots can exhibit diverse behaviors with simple types of actuation by partially outsourcing control to the morphological and material properties of their soft bodies, which i…
Symbolic local information transfer
Kohei Nakajima, Taichi Haruna
Recently, the permutation-information theoretic approach has been used in a broad range of research fields. In particular, in the study of highdimensional dynamical systems, it has…
Exploiting short-term memory in soft body dynamics as a computational resource
Kohei Nakajima, Tao Li, Helmut Hauser +1
Soft materials are not only highly deformable but they also possess rich and diverse body dynamics. Soft body dynamics exhibit a variety of properties, including nonlinearity, elas…
Dynamics Underneath Symbols: A Case Study in Autonomous Agents
Kohei Nakajima
Our cognition is structuring the informational layer, consisting of perception, anticipation, and action, and it should also be sustained on a physical basis. In this paper, we aim…
