Dynamic Evolution of Language Games between two Autonomous Robots

Abstract

The "talking robots" experiment, inspired by the "talking heads" experiment from Sony, explores possibilities on how to ground symbols into perception. We present here the first results of this experiment and outline a possible extension to social behaviors grounding: the purpose is to have the robots develop not only a lexicon but also the interaction protocol, or language game that they use to create the lexicon. This raises several complex problems that we review here
