Echo State Networks Sensorimotor Mirroring Trajectory Prediction
Mirroring-based Prediction of Robot Arm Movements Using an Echo State Network
R. Gregor, I. Farkaš, K. Malinovska, B. Sobota & M. Kerzel
9th International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots (ICACR), Xi'an, China, 2025, pp. 49–54
Applying sensorimotor mirroring principles to robot arm movement prediction using recurrent neural networks. The echo state network architecture enables real-time trajectory anticipation through observation, drawing on biological mirror neuron theory as a computational framework.
Keywords: robot arm movement · neural network · sensorimotor mirroring · prediction · echo state networks · real-time systems

Signs Without Ground
On the inseparability of motion primitives from their enactive context. Challenges the grounding claim of sensorimotor-derived robot representations.
The separation of act from context is not a feature of reality — it is a cognitive operation.

The Shannon Gap
On the missing semantic layer in Shannon's information theory and its implications for consciousness, meaning, and communication across contexts.
Shannon measures the pipe, not the water. The gap is where meaning lives.
