In cognitive robotics community, categories belonging to adjectives and nouns have been learned separately and independently. In this article, we propose a prototype-based framework that conceptualize adjectives and nouns as separate categories that are, however, linked to and interact with each other. We demonstrate how this co-learned concepts might be useful for a cognitive robot, especially using a game called "What object is it?" that involves finding an object based on a set of adjectives.

Formation of adjective, noun and verb concepts through affordances Yürüten, Onur; Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) In this thesis, we study the development of linguistic concepts (corresponding to a subset of nouns, verbs and adjectives) on a humanoid robot. To accomplish this goal, we use affordances, a notion first proposed by J.J. Gibson to describe the action possibilities offered to an agent by the environment. Using the affordances formalization framework of Sahin et al., we have implemented a learning system on a humanoid robot and obtained the required data from the sensorimotor experiences of the robot. The sys...
Relating affordances with verbs, nouns and adjectives Sǎglarlik ile fiiller, isimler ve sifatlarin iliş kilendirilmesi Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol (2013-04-26) Learning and conceptualizing words categories such as verbs, nouns and adjectives in language based on sensorimotor interactions of a robot is a challenging topic in cognitive robotics. In this article, we summarize our approach that is based on first learning affordances of objects by interacting with them, and then, learning and conceptualizing verbs, nouns and adjectives from these interactions.
The learning of adjectives and nouns from affordance and appearance features Yürüten, Onur; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (SAGE Publications, 2013-8-22) We study how a robot can link concepts represented by adjectives and nouns in language with its own sensorimotor interactions. Specifically, an iCub humanoid robot interacts with a group of objects using a repertoire of manipulation behaviors. The objects are labeled using a set of adjectives and nouns. The effects induced on the objects are labeled as affordances, and classifiers are learned to predict the affordances from the appearance of an object. We evaluate three different models for learning adjecti...
Global Urban Localization of Outdoor Mobile Robots Using Satellite Images DOĞRUER, CAN ULAŞ; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Dölen, Melik (2008-09-26) Localization is one of the major research fields in mobile robotics. With the utilization of satellite images and Monte Carlo localization technique, the global localization of an outdoor mobile robot is studied in this paper. The proposed method employs satellite images downloaded from the Internet to localize the robot iteratively. To accomplish this, the proposed method matches the local laser scanner data with the segmented satellite images. Initial test results conducted on the METU campus are found to...
Unsupervised Learning of Affordance Relations on a Humanoid Robot Akgun, Baris; Dag, Nilguen; Bilal, Tahir; Atil, Ilkay; Şahin, Erol (2009-09-16) In this paper, we study how the concepts learned by a robot can be linked to verbal concepts that humans use in language. Specifically, we develop a simple tapping behaviour on the iCub humanoid robot simulator and allow the robot to interact with a set of objects of different types and sizes to learn affordance relations in its environment. The robot records its perception, obtained from a range camera, as a feature vector, before and after applying tapping on an object. We compute effect features by subtr...
