چکیده

The probabilistic approach to cognition has become an established approach in recent decades. Cognition is better viewed as solving probabilistic, rather than logical, inference problems; i.e. cognition is better understood in terms of probability theory, rather than in terms of logic. This article presents a cognitive architecture used to govern a robot probabilistically. The design and implementation of cognitive architectures is a useful tool for understanding cognition in a situated agent. The Cerno research project extended the CAMAL (Computational Architectures for Motivation, Affect, and Learning) model, by incorporating probabilistic reasoning in its BDI model. Subsequent development of CAMAL has integrated all the valanced affective predicates across the architecture. Extensive experiments with synthetic and real robots demonstrate an improvement in the overall performance, success rate, task effectiveness, and goal achievement of the cognitive architecture.

robo-CAMAL: A BDI motivational robot

Motivation is a central concept in the development of autonomous agents and robots. This paper describes an architecture that uses a psychological BDI model of reasoning, combined with a distributed multi-level model of motivation. The robot controlling architecture makes use of a generic set of deliberative components plus an environment task-centred set of reactive components that reflect the...

A BDI Agent Architecture for a POMDP Planner

Traditionally, agent architectures based on the BeliefDesire-Intention (BDI) model make use of precompiled plans, or if they do generate plans, the plans do not involve stochastic actions nor probabilistic observations. Plans that do involve these kinds of actions and observations are generated by partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) planners. In particular for POMDP planning, w...

Agent Programming Languages Requirements for Programming Autonomous Robots

This paper presents four requirements for BDI-based agent programming languages to facilitate the implementation of autonomous robot control systems. The first requirement is to support the integration of these languages with robotic frameworks. The second requirement is real-time reaction and response to events. The real-time reactivity problem in the BDI architecture is discussed and a distri...

A BDI Architecture for High Level Robot Deliberation

In this work we present a BDI agent architecture to provide mobile soccer robots a high level reasoning mechanism. This architecture is build on top of layered system, where each layer is associated with a different level of abstraction in terms of robotic specification. The proposed approach allows the declarative specification of goal driven robot behavior. However in order to cope with the d...

Robot control system using SMR signals detection

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...
