• Chapter 8 : Detecting Faces and Head Pose One final primitive perceptual process will be required. The robot will need to find human faces in the visual scene and to extract the orientation of the head as a measurement of where that person is attending. This orientation direction will be used later

About this guide
• Chapter 8 : Detecting Faces and Head Pose One final primitive perceptual process will be required. The robot will need to find human faces in the visual scene and to extract the orientation of the head as a measurement of where that person is attending. This orientation direction will be used later to generate joint reference behaviors. • Chapter 9 : A Simple Mechanism for Social Learning Using the basic sensorimotor behaviors and the perceptual system, a mechanism is constructed that allows the

Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar environments
A robot rapidly specializes its skills using parameter policy learning, where the machine can rapidly specialize at specific, smaller actions within a long-horizon task. The MIT CSAIL algorithm enables autonomous practice to improve at mobile-manipulation activities.
