• Title: Using context to adapt to sensor drift
• Abstract summary: An adaptive system that represents the drift as context for the skill of odor sensing achieves the same goal automatically. A neural network predicts future contexts, allowing the context+skill sensing system to adapt to sensor drift. In this way, the context+skill system emulates the natural ability of animal olfaction systems to adapt to a changing world.

• Abstract: Lifelong development allows animals and machines to adapt to changes in the environment as well as in their own systems, such as wear and tear in sensors and actuators. An important use case of such adaptation is industrial odor-sensing. Metal-oxide-based sensors can be used to detect gaseous compounds in the air; however, the gases interact with the sensors, causing their responses to change over time in a process called sensor drift. Sensor drift is irreversible and requires frequent recalibration with additional data. This paper demonstrates that an adaptive system that represents the drift as context for the skill of odor sensing achieves the same goal automatically. After it is trained on the history of changes, a neural network predicts future contexts, allowing the context+skill sensing system to adapt to sensor drift. Evaluated on an industrial dataset of gas-sensor drift, the approach performed better than standard drift-naive and ensembling methods. In this way, the context+skill system emulates the natural ability of animal olfaction systems to adapt to a changing world, and demonstrates how it can be effective in real-world applications.

  We propose that the combination of reliance on adaptive sensors, the linkage between movement and sensing, and task-level control inevitably gives rise to the emergence of active sensing movements.<n>This hypothesis, that active sensing subserves control, is supported by both empirical data from organisms and mathematical theory.

We introduce a novel method for extracting Sensor-Invariant Tactile Representations (SITR), enabling zero-shot transfer across optical tactile sensors.

  It is challenging to place sensors in a way that maximises the informativeness of their measurements, particularly in remote regions like Antarctica. Probabilistic machine learning models can suggest informative sensor placements by finding sites that maximally reduce prediction uncertainty. This paper proposes using a convolutional Gaussian neural process (ConvGNP) to address these issues.

  Living systems process sensory data to facilitate adaptive behaviour. We implement a computational model of a simple embodied system with self-caused sensorimotor dynamics. We find that solutions that regulate behaviour to control self-caused sensory inputs tend to emerge, rather than solutions which predict and filter out self-caused inputs.
