Programming a BabyBot: Foundations for a Newborn Robot
This full-day hands-on tutorial guides participants in building a cognitive system that simulates Piaget’s first sensorimotor substage. Through four sessions, attendees will learn and implement cognitive modules related to sensory processing, perception, and selective attention, using the CST architecture.
Participants will gain practical experience in implementing a biologically inspired cognitive agent that models early intelligence through interaction with its environment. The tutorial is ideal for students and researchers in AI, robotics, and cognitive science.
💼 What You’ll Need
A laptop with Docker and git installed
Basic familiarity with Linux command line and programming logic
An interest in cognitive modeling, robotics, or developmental systems
We will provide all additional resources, including the Docker image, project files, and usage instructions.

Work published in 2023 at CSR Cognitive Systems Research. This work presents a series of progressive experiments, mirroring the motor and cognitive growth exhibited by children from birth to two years of age, to be conducted with robots. We also described a methodology for designing these experiments considering the robotics...
