tinyDSM: A Framework for Skill Modeling and Development for Resource-Constrained Millirobots
The paper 'tinyDSM: A Framework for Skill Modeling and Development for Resource-Constrained Millirobots' was posted on arXiv under identifier 2608.17596. The study explores developmental mechanisms that let centimeter-scale millirobots independently explore, learn, and adapt their abilities across their lifespan. Using reinforcement learning, the tinyDSM framework integrates intrinsic motivation and fitness-based assessment to drive skill acquisition. The design keeps hard-wired skills minimal, encouraging open-ended emergence of new abilities. It encodes only minimal a-priori general knowledge as a starting point, enabling the system to learn specific dependencies from that initial foundation. The approach aims to cover generic application domains. Its methodology rests on two pillars: a developmental mechanism with intrinsic motivation and a cognitive architecture, whose description is truncated in the abstract.
