Spatial and Temporal Hierarchy for Autonomous Navigation using Active Inference in Minigrid Environment
Daria de Tinguy, Toon van de Maele, Tim Verbelen +1
Robust evidence suggests that humans explore their environment using a combination of topological landmarks and coarse-grained path integration. This approach relies on identifiabl…
Neural representation in active inference: using generative models to interact with -- and understand -- the lived world
Giovanni Pezzulo, Leo D'Amato, Francesco Mannella +4
This paper considers neural representation through the lens of active inference, a normative framework for understanding brain function. It delves into how living organisms employ…
Learning Spatial and Temporal Hierarchies: Hierarchical Active Inference for navigation in Multi-Room Maze Environments
Daria de Tinguy, Toon Van de Maele, Tim Verbelen +1
Cognitive maps play a crucial role in facilitating flexible behaviour by representing spatial and conceptual relationships within an environment. The ability to learn and infer the…
Integrating cognitive map learning and active inference for planning in ambiguous environments
Toon Van de Maele, Bart Dhoedt, Tim Verbelen +1
Living organisms need to acquire both cognitive maps for learning the structure of the world and planning mechanisms able to deal with the challenges of navigating ambiguous enviro…
Bridging Cognitive Maps: a Hierarchical Active Inference Model of Spatial Alternation Tasks and the Hippocampal-Prefrontal Circuit
Toon Van de Maele, Bart Dhoedt, Tim Verbelen +1
Cognitive problem-solving benefits from cognitive maps aiding navigation and planning. Previous studies revealed that cognitive maps for physical space navigation involve hippocamp…
Inferring Hierarchical Structure in Multi-Room Maze Environments
Daria de Tinguy, Toon Van de Maele, Tim Verbelen +1
Cognitive maps play a crucial role in facilitating flexible behaviour by representing spatial and conceptual relationships within an environment. The ability to learn and infer the…
Object-Centric Scene Representations using Active Inference
Toon Van de Maele, Tim Verbelen, Pietro Mazzaglia +2
Representing a scene and its constituent objects from raw sensory data is a core ability for enabling robots to interact with their environment. In this paper, we propose a novel a…
FMCW Radar Sensing for Indoor Drones Using Learned Representations
Ali Safa, Tim Verbelen, Ozan Catal +4
Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar is a promising sensor technology for indoor drones as it provides range, angular as well as Doppler-velocity information about obst…
