	080905_02_saegusa_imeko.pdf Sensory Prediction Learning - How to Model the Self and the Environment Ryo Saegusa - Italian Institute of Technology Abstract: For a complex autonomous robotic system such as a humanoid robot, the learning-based state prediction is considered effective to develop the body and environment model autonomously. In this paper we investigate a model of changes detection directly included in the evaluation process of the learning algorithm. The model is characterized by a function called confidence, which returns a high value if the robot’s actual state data match the predicted state data. The robot then creates the confidence map for each sensor based on the prediction error.
