Representational fluidity in embodied (artificial) cognition

Embodied spatial cognition: Biological and artificial systems

In this paper we sketch out a computational theory of spatial cognition motivated by navigational behaviours, ecological requirements, and neural mechanisms as identified in animals and man. Spatial cognition is considered in the context of a cognitive agent built around the action-perception cycle. Besides sensors and effectors, the agent comprises multiple memory structures including a workin...

Embodied artificial agents for understanding human social cognition

In this paper, we propose that experimental protocols involving artificial agents, in particular the embodied humanoid robots, provide insightful information regarding social cognitive mechanisms in the human brain. Using artificial agents allows for manipulation and control of various parameters of behaviour, appearance and expressiveness in one of the interaction partners (the artificial agen...
