Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of sensorimotor learning from the
perspective of affordances learning of simple objects. We are
developing a scenario where a robotic arm interacts with a polyflap,
a simple 3-dimensional geometrical object. We perform experiments
with a simulated arm using a physics simulator, but we plan to use
also a real arm. The robot interacts with the object by pushing it
in different ways. We use Recurrent Neural Networks to predict the
arm and object poses during this interaction, given a discrete set
of random actions that the robot can produce.
