Abstract

The skills required by machines in the last decade have grown exponentially. Recent efforts made by the scientific community have shown amazing results in the field of research related to artificial intelligence and robotics. Recent studies show that machines may be superior to humans in carrying out certain tasks. However, in many approaches they still fail to achieve high-level skills required to support humans and interact with them. Furthermore, the “intelligence” exhibited is hardly ever the result of a real autonomous decision. In this article we propose a novel approach, with the aim of providing a machine with the ability to evolve and build its own knowledge by combining both semantic and visual information. The proposed concept, its implementation and experimental results are shown and discussed.
