Embodying Cognitive Abilities: Categorization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In previous woks we have introduced a distributed neural architecture for the generation of complex behaviors in evolutionary robotics. In this paper we show how this architecture is able to create its own categories about the sensed world of a robot by direct interaction of the body with the environment. The distributed elements of the architecture cooperate to express the categories on an inner world that is easily accessible from the outside. We conclude the paper with an explanation of how the inner world created by the robot can be used to gain some insight into the mind-body problem.

Multimodal trust formation with Uninformed Cognitive Maps (UnCM)
This work describes a cognitive heuristic allowing agents to assess trust and delegations merging heterogenous information sources. The model is realized through Uninformed Cognitive Maps, based on the combination of: (i) categorization abilities (ii) history of personal experiences (iii) context awareness.
متن کاملFacing Openness with Socio-Cognitive Trust and Categories
Typical solutions for agents assessing trust relies on the circulation of information on the individual level, i.e. reputational images, subjective experiences, statistical analysis, etc. This work presents an alternative approach, inspired to the cognitive heuristics enabling humans to reason at a categorial level. The approach is envisaged as a crucial ability for agents in order to: (1) esti...
متن کاملCharacterizing Knowledge Intensive Tasks indicating Cognitive Requirements; Scenarios in Methods for Specific Tasks
Methods for specific tasks can among others be identified in conceptual modeling of information systems and requirements engineering in software development. Such methods dictate a specific way of working by describing necessary knowledge intensive tasks to fulfill while applying the method. An actor may experience difficulties when trying to fulfill tasks as part of a method application, relat...

متن کاملLearning to Manipulate and Categorize in Human and Artificial Agents
This study investigates the acquisition of integrated object manipulation and categorization abilities through a series of experiments in which human adults and artificial agents were asked to learn to manipulate two-dimensional objects that varied in shape, color, weight, and color intensity. The analysis of the obtained results and the comparison of the behavior displayed by human and artific...
