Integrated Architecture for Grounded Intelligence in Its Development, Experimental, Environmental, and Social Context.

摘要

This final report describes a novel biologically-inspired cognitive architecture. The systems level architecture described in this report was inspired by Simmons and Barsalou (2003), with psychologically-inspired additions proposed by Breazeal et al (2005), augmented by key insights from developmental psychology (Smith, 2005). A cognitive agent will have multiple modality-specific systems, including sensory systems (e.g., vision, audition, touch), a motor system, an emotional system, and a cognitive system. As a system perceives its external world and internal mental states, feature systems will represent these experiences in the relevant perceptual modalities, and a hierarchical system of neurally-inspired association areas will capture them, so that they can be reenacted or simulated in the future. These perceptually grounded representations guide the intelligent and social operations of agents.
