Grounding Action Words in the Sensorimotor Interaction with the World: Experiments with a Simulated iCub Humanoid Robot.

<24> This paper presents an innovative cognitive robotics model for the study of the embodied representation of action words. This work constitutes a novel approach for studying language from an embodied perspective and has led to a durable collaboration with the linguistic Kerstin Fisher (Denmark). The model is currently having an impact outside robotics, particularly in cognitive linguistics studies. This is one of the highest-performing articles in Frontiers and the author was invited to serve as Topic Editor of a Frontiers Research Topic. This embodied grammar learning model led to the cognitive architecture used in the FP7 project POETICON++ (2012-16).
