When a robot executes a task, it is necessary to model the relationship among its body, target objects, tools, and environment, and to control its body to realize the target state. However, it is difficult to model them using classical methods if the relationship is complex. In addition, when the relationship changes with time, it is necessary to deal with the temporal changes of the model. In this study, we have developed Deep Predictive Model with Parametric Bias (DPMPB) as a more human-like adaptive intelligence to deal with these modeling difficulties and temporal model changes. We categorize and summarize the theory of DPMPB and various task experiments on the actual robots, and discuss the effectiveness of DPMPB.
