Hi, my name is Nao.
People have cast me off.
I found myself in a world that I do not know.
I have no tasks, I am on my own.
Everything is so new to me.
But I am curious and I will try to learn as much as possible.
I know my sensors and I know what I am capable of doing.
That is all the help I can get.
I will go for a short walk and carefully observe what is going on around me.
Huh, what a mess...
I better straighten up my thoughts.
I collected some angles and distances from me to each of the boxes.
I wonder how they relate to my movements.
Let us see what I can learn from this data.
I feel so much smarter now.
Let us see if I can predict anything using my knowledge...
If I go left, the angle from me to each box will increase
and if I turn to the right, the angle from me to each box will decrease.
I am a bit confused about how the distances change.
I should look into this.
I need to go for another walk to collect more data.
By the way, let me explain to you how I learn these things.
I try to relate my actions to what I observe in the world around me.
I do so by making experiments, collecting data and learning from it.
Before I do my next action, I try to predict its outcome using my model.
If my prediction is wrong, I know what kind of experiments I have to make
to collect more data
and improve my model where it was wrong.
As simple as that.
This principle drives my learning process all the time.
And you know, there is always plenty of things to learn about.
I see you cannot wait to hear what I just learned.
I am really excited about it because my predictions are correct most of the time.
I tell you this:
if I move in the direction of the box, the distance from me to that box will decrease,
while if I move in the direction away from the box, the distance will increase.
I already told you about the angles.
I will keep this knowledge in my memory.
Now I know how to get to the object in which I am interested.
I wonder what I can do with these boxes.
Let me check the closest box.
You see, I am so curious.
