Deep causal learning for robotic intelligence

Abstract

This invited Review discusses causal learning in the context of robotic intelligence. The Review introduces the psychological findings on causal learning in human cognition, as well as the traditional statistical solutions for causal discovery and causal inference. Additionally, we examine recent deep causal learning algorithms, with a focus on their architectures and the benefits of using deep nets, and discuss the gap between deep causal learning and the needs of robotic intelligence.

Keywords: complementary perception; deep causal learning; intelligence; robotic perception; robotics.
