Robotic Body-Mind Integration - Next Grand Challenge in Robotics = Robotic Body-Mind Integration

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The field of robotics has evolved from industrial robots in the 1960s to entertainment and medical robots in the 2000s. During the last decade, major progress has been made in integrating robotic body with sensor and AI-based software. In this paper, I describe our efforts to realize a next generation of intelligent robots called cognitive robots. The paper proposes a multiagent-based cognitive robot architecture with three distinctive memory systems, namely short-term and long-term memory structures for routine task execution and a working memory system (WMS) which is closely tied to learning and execution of tasks and allows the robot to focus attention on the most relevant features of the current task. The concept of WMS in robotics is relatively new. WMS is expected to playa similar role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of our brain which performs high-level function called cognitive control. Finally the interface between cognitive robots and machine consciousness is explored through an internal model called the Self Agent.
