Abstract :
Motor Babbling has been identified as a self-exploring behaviour adopted by infants and is fundamental for the development of more complex behaviours, self-awareness and social interaction skills. Here, we adopt this paradigm for the learning strategies of a humanoid robot that maps its random arm movements with its head movements, determined by the perception of its own body. Finally, we analyse three random movement strategies and experimentally test on a humanoid robot how they affect the learning speed.
