Cognitive Robotics Candice Harris
Introduction • Definition • Cognitive Robotics (CR) – is a concern with endowing robots with high-level cognitive capabilities to enable the achievement of complex goals in complex environments using limited computational resources. • Cognitive Robotics capabilities include • Perception processing • Anticipation • Planning • Reasoning about other agents • Reasoning about their own mental states.
Cognition in Humans versus Robots • Cognition in humans is exhibited through the characteristics of “short and long term memory, categorizing and conceptualizing, reasoning, planning, problem solving, learning, and creativity. • A cognitive system employs a combination of artificial intelligence techniques within a structure derived from human psychology in an attempt to produce the above listed characteristics. A cognitive robot is an embodied cognitive system implemented on a robot
