    Abstract

    Information theoretic methods are used to characterise
    and identify robot-environment interactions, with a
    view to using these to build an embodied interaction history
    from the robot's perspective. A bottom-up approach is taken
    using uninterpreted raw sensor and motor data. Interactions
    are analysed by calculating the Average Information Distance
    (AID) between all sensors and motors over a moving time window
    and used to create 2-dimensional "phase-plots" that can
    be thought of as describing the current interaction. Sensor-
    Motor AID Phase-plots are shown to be able to distinguish
    simple behaviours among a sequence of behaviours.
