Abstract: Past research has shown it is possible for robot systems to learn to integrate unlabelled sensory data into self-organised multisensory features that correspond to higher-level structural correspondences in the task space. In this talk we discuss the design of a similar system that directly learns high-level features from robot sensory data. Inspired by a denoising autoencoder architecture, we train a deep neural network to regenerate sensory or motor sequences given partial input with dropped-out modalities. In addition to the benefits that multisensory integration affords to generalisation capacity and sensing error, these mappings can be applied to trajectory generation for desired sensory sequences, or sensory anticipation / visual servoing with respect to desired trajectories.
