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 Intelligence (AI) techniques to increase both the cognitive and operationalautonomyofartificial agents in general, and of robotic platforms targeted at the space domain in particular.
