Thanks for sharing this insight. I’m glad that there are global efforts like this to shed some light into this area of research that’s often overlooked.

Here’s the PDF of our paper if you’re interested (no ACM): http://db.tt/w5VTJVhI

Here’s a playlist I’ve created on YouTube on the subject of pet interaction:

This is interesting in that the animals seemed interested without the need for a reward or treat. Could open more understanding between the species.

I’ve found this really interesting! It reminds me of Montessoris “human tendencies” thing where through play different behaviours were identified as driving children at different stages of their development. I guess this is along the same lines and an interesting way to start understanding what drives something.

Not entirely related, but I’m always fascinated by robo-roach
