Abstract

One of the most promising approaches to understand human cognitive and developmental mechanisms is a synthetic approach using humanoid robots; an approach to understand the human cognitive functions by realizing them with the robots. Humans are so complicated and it is difficult to mimic the well-developed human by robotic technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how humans develop the complicated functions during the developmental process. We may be able to develop infant functions and make them evolve by tracing the human developmental process. This new study requires robot platforms that can mimic various aspects of the human developmental process. This paper introduces a series of robot platforms that we have developed for the studies with the synthetic approach.
