     9   System for understanding what the actors in a video are doing --

    10   Action Recognition.

    11   

    12   Separate action recognition into three components:

    13 

    14   - free play

    15   - embodied action predicates

    16   - model alignment 

    17   - sensory imagination

    18 

    19 * Steps 

    20   

    21  - Build cortex, a simulated environment for sensate AI

    22    - solid bodies w/ joints

    23    - vision

    24    - touch

    25    - vision

    26    - hearing

    27    - proprioception

    28    - muscle contraction

    29 

    30  - Build experimental framework for worm-actions

    31   - embodied stream predicates

    32   - \phi-space 

    33   - \phi-scan

    34 

    35 * News

    36   

    37   Experimental results:

    38 

    39   - \phi-space actually works very well for the worm!

    40   - self organizing touch map

    41 

    42 

    43 * Contributions

    44   - Built =CORTEX=, a comprehensive platform for embodied AI

    45     experiments. Has many new features lacking in other systems, such

    46     as sound. Easy to model/create new creatures.

    47   - created a novel concept for action recognition by using artificial

    48     imagination.
