Expected Free Energy-based Informative Path Planning for Robotic Mars Exploration
Ajith Anil Meera, Pablo Lanillos, Wouter Kouw
An autonomous robot efficiently exploring an unknown environment, such as looking for water sources on Mars, faces two simultaneous demands: building an accurate information map wh…
Robot Metacognition: Decision Making with Confidence for Tool Invention
Ajith Anil Meera, Poppy Collis, Polina Arbuzova +4
Robots today often miss a key ingredient of truly intelligent behavior: the ability to reflect on their own cognitive processes and decisions. In humans, this self-monitoring or me…
Designing Tools with Control Confidence
Ajith Anil Meera, Abian Torres, Pablo Lanillos
Prehistoric humans invented stone tools for specialized tasks by not just maximizing the tool's immediate goal-completion accuracy, but also increasing their confidence in the tool…
Confidence-Aware Decision-Making and Control for Tool Selection
Ajith Anil Meera, Pablo Lanillos
Self-reflecting about our performance (e.g., how confident we are) before doing a task is essential for decision making, such as selecting the most suitable tool or choosing the be…
Reclaiming saliency: rhythmic precision-modulated action and perception
Ajith Anil Meera, Filip Novicky, Thomas Parr +3
Computational models of visual attention in artificial intelligence and robotics have been inspired by the concept of a saliency map. These models account for the mutual informatio…
Free Energy Principle for State and Input Estimation of a Quadcopter Flying in Wind
Fred Bos, Ajith Anil Meera, Dennis Benders +1
The free energy principle from neuroscience provides a brain-inspired perception scheme through a data-driven model learning algorithm called Dynamic Expectation Maximization (DEM)…
