Developmental Processes in Remote-Brained Humanoids

  • Conference paper
Robotics Research

Abstract

Across the ages, one dream of intelligent robotics has been humanoid robots. To realize a real humanoid requires long developmental cycles. If we can understand the developmental cycles and explore new ideas on common operations for the developmental processes, it may help to generate the next developmental stages. To do this, we have built an environment with remote-brained humanoids and progressed through several stages in development This paper introduces the idea of research on the developmental processes and describes the several development stages of remote-brained humanoids.
