Area 02

Learning & Adaptation

Mechanisms for continual learning, structural plastic adaptation, and resistance to catastrophic forgetting in open-ended environments.

Research Scope & Objectives

Explores non-stationary learning environments where an agent must accumulate knowledge over years of simulated or physical experience without erasing foundational sensorimotor skills.

Central Open Questions

How can modular network architectures isolate new episodic adaptations from core procedural memory?
What self-supervised objective functions promote robust developmental exploration without reward collapse?

Associated Experiments

Empirical experiments for this area are under protocol drafting.
