The episode explores intrinsic motivation in biological, artificial, and hybrid systems, discussing how these systems develop self-driven behaviors and the implications for research and engineering.
This is a ~1 hour talk I gave at the Oxford Robotics Institute called "Intrinsic motivation in evolved, engineered, and hybrid systems: the interface of biophysics, computer science, and behavioral science". It covers our work from the perspective of motivations - what are they (in various unconventional agents, spaces, and scales), how can we predict/change them, and where they "come from".
