Affordances are a central concept of J.J. Gibson's approach to visual perception. We describe and discuss the concept of affordances with a brief look at its application to robotics, as well as provide an overview of several existing formalizations.

Synthese, 2019
What are the affordances of artifacts? One view is that the affordances of artifacts, just as the affordances of natural objects, pertain to possible ways in which they can be manipulated (e.g., a computer keyboard affords grasping). Another view maintains that, given that artifacts are sociocultural objects, their affordances pertain primarily to ...

Interacting with Computers, 2005
The concept of affordance is relatively easy to define, but has proved to be remarkably difficult to engineer. This paradox has sparked numerous debates as to its true nature. The discussion presented here begins with a review of the use of the term from which emerges evidence for a two-fold classification-simple affordance and complex affordance ...

This paper argues that Gibson's concept of affordance inserts a powerful conceptual lens for the study of sociomateriality as enacted in contemporary organizational practices. Our objective in this paper is to develop a comprehensive view of affordances that builds upon the existing conceptualizations in the psychology, human-computer interaction ...

The implementation of affordable housing policies has grown apace during the past two decades, with housing affordability as a policy issue rising ever more quickly on the agendas of numerous governments in very recent years. Before examining the rationale, form and consequences of affordable housing policies later in the chapter, we consider first the

Complex affordance learning based on basic affordances
2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2014In this paper, we study how complex object affor-dances can be efficiently learned and how previously learned structures can be used for this purpose. We discuss that besides standard visual features, using previously learned basic affor-dances in predicting complex affordances would speed up this complex learning task. In order to prove our hypothesis,

Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human factors in computing systems Reaching through technology - CHI '91, 1991
Ecological approaches to psychology suggest succinct accounts of easily-used artifacts. Affordances are properties of the world that are compatible with and relevant for people's interactions. When affordances are perceptible, they offer a direct link between perception and action; hidden and false affordances lead to mistakes.

Affordance potency: Explaining the actualization of technology affordances
Information and Organization, 2017Abstract Given the importance of information technology (IT) in effecting organizational change, scholars have strived for many years to theorize the ways in which IT can produce the changes intended for it. Recent arguments claim that most information systems (IS) research has taken a limited theoretical focus on the information technology (IT ...

Autonomous Robots, 2018
As robots start to interact with their environments, they need to reason about the affordances of objects in those environments. In most cases, affordances can be inferred only from parts of objects, such as the blade of a knife for cutting or the head of a hammer for pounding.
