Understanding Human Psychology Through Robots with Prof. Angelo Cangelosi: Building entire systems

The video explores the use of convolutional neural networks in building systems like the iCub robot, emphasizing the limitations of fixed layers for specific tasks. It delves into developmental robotics, modeling baby brains to understand incremental learning in object and sound recognition. The discussion extends to linking image recognition with understanding intent and movement, highlighting work on the iCub robot. The video concludes with insights into model building and validation in robotics and psychology, illustrating the iterative process of refining theoretical models through experiments.
