Abstract
This chapter presents a tutorial on how to build a cognitive robotic system with the LIDA Framework. In order to ease this development, a new ROS module (the LIDA Bridge, made available at https://github.com/lidabridge/lidabridge) is presented. The LIDA Framework is a Java implementation of the LIDA conceptual model, which is a cognitive model of artificial consciousness. This work performs an in-depth discussion about LIDA conceptual model, its components and how they interact in order to manage a general-purpose cognitive system. These concepts are applied in a step-by-step tutorial to create a fully cognitive robot based on this ROS wrapper to LIDA Framework, that is able to learn with new experiences or different perceptions.
