(14 cards)
Cognitive robotics is a combination of?
Ethology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Computer Science, Linguistics and Robotics
What are the approaches to Cognitive Robotics?
Developmental Robotics
Swarm Robotics
Soft Robotics
Neuro Robotics
Evolutionary Robotics
Where does cognitive robotics get it’s inspiration from?
It is a field that combines insights and methods from AI, as well as biological and neuro sciences to AI
What is cognitive robotics?
It is the design of sensorimotor and cognitive capabilities in intelligent robots, drawing direct inspiration from cognitive and biological sciences
What is Artificial Cognitive Systems?
It looks into the modeling of embodied and simulated robotics drawing inspiration from natural and cognitive systems
What is Intelligent Robotics?
It looks into the engineering approach of designing intelligent robots using any AI methods
What are the principles and theories affecting Cognitive Robotics?
Embodied Cognition Theories
AI and Knowledge Based Systems
Synthetic Methodologies
Behaviour Based Robotics
What is cognition?
Cognition is the process by which an autonomous system percieves its environment, learns from experience, anticipates outcomes, acts to pursue goals and adapts to changing circumstances
What is a theoretical/computational model?
It is an abstraction of the real system
What are the Marr’s levels of abstraction?
1) Theory/Computational - What is the phenomena we are trying to implement
2) Representaion/Algorithmic - How can it be represented as a process of inputs/outputs?
3) Implementation - How is it implemented?
What are the principles behind developmental robotics?
1) Development as a dynamical system
2) Embodied and Situated
3) Intrinsic motivation and social learning
4) Non linear, Stage development
5) Online, Open Ended and Cumulative
What are the stages in Piaget’s stages?
1) Sensorimotor stage - 0-2
2) Preoperational Stage - 2 - 7
3) Concrete Operational Stage - 7- 11
4) Formal Operational Stage - 12 and up
What are the stages in Language Acquisition?
1) Universal Phonetic Discrimination - 0 - 1
2) Perceptual Reorganization - 14m - 20m
3) Vocabulary spurt - 20m - 24m
4) Language Production - 28m - 36m
What are the challenges in Human Robot Interaction?
Speech Recognition and Production
Emotion Recognition and Production
Trust and Acceptability
Action recognition and Intention reading
Long-term interaction
