A Software Framework for Cognition, Embodiment, Dynamics, and Autonomy in Robotics: Cedar
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present cedar , a software framework for the implementation and simulation of embodied cognitive models based on Dynamic Field Theory (DFT). DFT is a neurally inspired theoretical framework that integrates perception, action, and cognition. cedar captures the power of DFT in software by facilitating the process of software development for embodied cognitive systems, both artificial and as models of human cognition. In cedar , models can be designed through a graphical interface and interactively tuned. We demonstrate this by implementing an exemplary robotic architecture.

On the role of emotion in biological and robotic autonomy
This paper reviews some of the differences between notions of biological and robotic autonomy, and how these differences have been reflected in discussions of embodiment, grounding and other concepts in AI and autonomous robotics. Furthermore, the relations between homeostasis, emotion and embodied cognition are discussed as well as recent proposals to model their interplay in robots, which ref...
متن کاملEmbodied Cognition for Autonomous Interactive Robots
In the past, notions of embodiment have been applied to robotics mainly in the realm of very simple robots, and supporting low-level mechanisms such as dynamics and navigation. In contrast, most human-like, interactive, and socially adept robotic systems turn away from embodiment and use amodal, symbolic, and modular approaches to cognition and interaction. At the same time, recent research in ...
متن کاملEnaction as a conceptual framework for developmental cognitive robotics
This paper provides an accessible introduction to the cognitive systems paradigm of enaction and shows how it forms a practical framework for robotic systems that can develop cognitive abilities. The principal idea of enaction is that a cognitive system develops it own understanding of the world around it through its interactions with the environment. Thus, enaction entails that the cognitive s...
متن کاملRobotics Inspired in the Organism
The major technical and conceptual advances in cognitive science have always been connected directly or indirectly to artificial intelligence and, over the last 20 years, specifically to the field of autonomous robotics. It is thanks to the elegance and practical value of work in various regions of robotics that certain fundamental questions in cognitive science can be revisited. This is partic...
متن کاملThe centrifugal development of artificial agents: a research agenda
This paper presents a research agenda underlying a PhD proposal on embodied software agents. The research aims to demonstrate that it is possible, for embodied software agents, to develop first-person meanings for environmental perturbations. According to the proposed approach, first-person meanings will be created through the agent centrifugal development. We argue that centrifugally developed...
