The Humanoid Group, led by Assoc. Prof. Matěj Hoffman, is celebrating a significant scientific achievement – their latest research has been published in the prestigious journal Science Robotics.

The study, which uses the humanoid robot iCub, offers new insights into how young children learn to recognize the relationship between their own movements and their effects on the world around them. The research connects robotics and artificial intelligence with developmental psychology and neuroscience, demonstrating how humanoid robots can help us better understand the mechanisms underlying early human learning.

Congratulations to the entire team of authors on this significant achievement!

The authors would also like to thank Bedřich Himmel and Petr Beránek for their assistance with handling the iCub robot.
