The design of current natural language-oriented robot architectures enables certain architectural components to circumvent moral reasoning capabilities. One example this is reflexive generation clarification requests as soon referential ambiguity detected in a human utterance. As shown previous research, can lead robots (1) miscommunicate their dispositions and (2) weaken perception or applicat...

A study has been initiated to review syrup clarification technology, with the objective of finding methods of improving syrup clarification, including chemical addition, and with special reference to aeration and flocculation problems. Preliminary results suggest that significant improvements to raw sugar quality are possible, particularly filterability. The review to-date is presented, with re...

In this paper three different roles of a shared task model as an intermediate representation of a task are presented and illustrated by applications developed in cooperation with industry. First the role of a shared task model in knowledge acquisition is discussed. In one of the two applications, decision support in the domain of soil sanitation, one of the existing generic task models for diag...
