<p>Dear all</p>
<p>I enjoyed our discussion on AI@50 and beyond. Lots of exciting
progress on neural and hybrid neural symbolic research since
AI@50, AI@70 and now going beyond. In the future, embodied neural
intelligence based on continual developmental learning may play an
even more central role since the body and mind are highly
integrated in humans right from the beginning.</p>
<p>New paper in this context from last week </p>
<p>"Robot in a crib: How a playing robot helps us understand
sensorimotor contingency learning" just published in Science
Robotics.<br>

Nutshell: an iCub lying on its back in a crib learns to interact
with its environment biologically inspired by infants. Our
embodied model learns through a balanced trade-off between
curiosity and prediction and manages to adjust its behavior
towards specific conditions. We found that the emergent
strategies do not only rely on a single metric such as activity,
but complex and dynamic strategies emerge that make use of
spatial positions, environmental dynamics, and specific
movements.</span></p>
