Affordance generation enables behavioral plasticity and cognitive offloading in evolving robots
Jônata Tyska Carvalho, Stefano Nolfi · 2016
In this paper we discuss the importance of the ability to perceive and generate affordances, i.e. opportunities for behaviour execution. More specifically we show how robots evolved for the ability to solve a given problem use the ability to generate affordances for displaying differentiated behaviour and/or to regulate how their behaviour vary over time.
