In this talk I will overview work done in the past few years at Vislab on learning internal predictive models. I will briefly introduce the concepts of expected perception and objects' affordances and stress the importance of internal models in predicting the consequences of the robot actions in its perception of the environment. Then I will present a methodology to simultaneously learn sensorimotor maps and the underlying sensor and motor signal representations, illustrating that general principles of prediction error minimisation and simplicity can lead to sensorimotor structures with similarities to biological systems.
