Abstract

We describe an experiment in the application of ILP to autonomous discovery in a robotic domain. An autonomous robot is performing experiments in its world, collecting data and formulating predictive theories about this world. In particular, we are interested in the robot's "gaining insights" through predicate invention. In the first experimental scenario in a pushing blocks domain, the robot discovers the notion of objects' movability. The second scenario is about discovering the notion of obstacle. We describe experiments with a simulated robot, as well as an experiment with a real robot when robot's observations contain noise.
