Early-Stage vision of composite scenes

Early-Stage Vision of Composite Scenes for Spatial Learning and Navigation. In the proceedings of the First Joint IEEE Conference on Development and Learning and on Epigenetic Robotics (ICDL-EPIROB 2011). Olivier L. Georgeon, James B. Marshall, Pierre-Yves R. Ronot. Frankfurt (24-27 August 2011). pp. 224-229.

This 6-page paper reports Ernest 9.1's experiment and discusses how Ernest learns early-stage sensorimotor and spatial regularities. The paper also introduces Ernest 9's cognitive architecture.
