Bidirectional Tutoring for Developmental Motor Learning in Robots: Co-Developed Interaction Dynamics Support Stable Learning

Researchers demonstrate that bidirectional tutoring—where robots and tutors dynamically adapt to each other—produces more consistent and generalizable motor learning compared to traditional unidirectional instruction. Using a free-energy-principle neural network with generative replay, experiments with a humanoid robot showed bidirectional interaction fostered stable behavioral patterns and reduced dependency on tutor guidance over time.

The Sensation Modulating Network:Haltability as the architectural ground for object-directed phenomenology

This arXiv paper proposes the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN), a theoretical cognitive architecture that attempts to bridge the long-standing divide between cognitivism and embodied cognition approaches. The framework grounds meaning-making in the body's opponent dynamics and hierarchical action patterns, offering a novel perspective on how agents achieve intentional directedness without requiring additional computational modules.

Transforming Agency. On the mode of existence of Large Language Models

A new academic paper analyzes the ontological nature of Large Language Models like ChatGPT, concluding they are not autonomous agents but rather 'linguistic automatons' or 'libraries-that-talk' that lack true agency. The research argues that LLMs fail to meet key conditions for autonomous agency including individuality, normativity, and interactional asymmetry, while still enabling new forms of human-machine interaction.
