An intrinsically motivated planning architecture for curiosity-driven robots

This paper presents a summary of the IMPACT (Intrinsically Motivated Planning Ar-chitecture for Curiosity-driven roboTs) project funded by the European Space Agency(ESA). The project aimed at investigating the possibility of employing Artificial In-telligence (AI) techniques to increase both the cognitive and operationalautonomyofartificial agents in general, and of robotic platforms targeted at the space domain in particular.
