ActInfLab ~ April 2022 Newsletter 🔆⚽⚗️
Hello all, This email contains updates on ActInfLab activities during April 2022. Education We are organizing the first cohort of the Active Inference…
Forwarded from DX space
Robots that use Active Inference framework to learn and navigate were presented more than a year ago. They are not famous yet and are still at the beginning of the way to succeeding others, but people work hard to help them in this journey.
New developments on hierarchical models of Active Inference are presented in the recent paper by Ozan Çatal et al "Robot navigation as hierarchical active inference". ActInfLab unpacked the article and discussed it with the authors to make it as accessible as possible for all interested in the future of robotics and willing not to miss opportunities and affordances provided by state-of-the-art developments.
Unpacking #42.0, Discussion #42.1, Discussion #42.2
At ActInfLab, we work on the education of the framework. If this paper and videos took your attention and you would like to know more, please let me know in DM.

How Active Inference Could Help Revolutionise Robotics
by Da Costa, Lanillos, Sajid, Friston, Khan
"Recent advances in neuroscience have characterised brain function using mathematical formalisms and first principles that may be usefully applied elsewhere. In this paper, we explain how active inference—a well-known denoscription of sentient behaviour from neuroscience—can be exploited in robotics. In short, active inference leverages the processes thought to underwrite human behaviour to build effective autonomous systems. These systems show state-of-the-art performance in several robotics settings; we highlight these and explain how this framework may be used to advance robotics."
