Twitter might seem like a not-so-kind place especially if you are a young student who just had your paper rejected by #NeurIPS2020. You might be seeing all your peers/professors talking about their paper acceptances. Let me shed some light on the reality of the situation [1/N]

The concept of affordances has been key to developmental learning, but it has not typically been formulated in a way that facilitates robotic implementation. @EDINrobotics-@InfAtEd students @PaolaArdonR & @ericpairet have written a nice survey on this:
