Description
Cognitive robotics and machine learning are producing a growing amount of works on intrinsic motivations (IMs) and open-ended learning. IMs, often contrasted to extrinsic motivations (EMs) that in animals are directed to satisfy biological needs such as hunger and thirst, refer to processes such as curiosity, surprise, novelty, and success at accomplishing one’s own goals (Barto et al. 2004; Oudeyer et al. 2007; Baldassarre 2011; Baldassarre and Mirolli 2013). Open-ended learning refers to robots and agents that, similarly to the early development of humans (Weng et al. 2001; Lungarella et al. 2003), undergo prolonged periods of learning wherein they autonomously acquire knowledge and skills that might be useful to later solve tasks given by the user (Seepanomwan et al. 2017; Doncieux et al. 2018).
