 We consider different scenarios, including a pick and place robotics experiment with speech as the modality of interaction, and a navigation task in a brain computer interaction scenario. In these scenarios, a teacher instructs a robot to perform a new task using initially unclassified signals, whose associated meaning can be a feedback (correct/incorrect) or a guidance (go left, right, up, \ldots). Our results show that a) it is possible to learn the meaning of unlabeled and noisy teaching signals, as well as a new task at the same time, and b) it is possible to reuse the acquired knowledge about the teaching signals for learning new tasks faster. We further introduce a planning strategy that exploits uncertainty from the task and the signals' meanings to allow more efficient learning sessions. We present a study where several real human subjects control successfully a virtual device using their brain and without relying on a calibration phase. Our system identifies, from scratch, the target intended by the user as well as the decoder of brain signals.
 
-Based on this work, but from another perspective, we introduce a new experimental setup to study how human behave in asymmetric collaborative task. In this setup, two humans have to collaborate to solve a task but the channels of communication they can use are constrained and force them to invent and agree on a shared interaction protocol in order to solve the task. These constraints allow analyzing how a communication protocol is progressively established through the interplay and history of individual actions.

+\noindent First of all, I would like to thank Pierre-Yves Oudeyer and Manuel Lopes for supervising me during these three years. Apart from their advice, their patience, and their open minded and supportive supervision, I particularly enjoyed the opportunity I was given to learn and to simply belong to the lab, listening and taking part in various enlightening scientific and philosophical discussions.\\

 % Without I{\~n}aki, running experiments involving brain signals would not have existed. He spent an uncountable amount of time sitting with the cup on and gel in the hair. Without Luis, my understanding of the problem would not . Him and Manuel were exceptionally patient when listening to my explanation. we would not have reached the same level of understanding of the problem.
