IST 2001-37173 - ADAPTArtificial Development
Approach to Presence Technologies

• Goal
• study how the perception of self in the
  environment emerges during the early stages of
  human development and to implement an artificial
  instance of such developmental processes in an
  embodied artifact
• A two-pronged strategy is pursued
• we aim at realizing an artificial system capable
  of building internal representations
• we will investigate when and how the developing
  brain starts to produce the unique
  experience-based repertoire of intentional
  percepts and actions
• Expected results
• Get a functional artifact incorporating model of
  the sense of presence
• Formulate and test a theory of the development of
  coherent multisensory representation in humans
