Towards Cognitive Robotics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5436))

Abstract

In this paper we review our research aiming at creating a cognitive humanoid. We describe our understanding of the core elements of a processing architecture for such kind of an artifact. After these conceptual considerations we present our research results on the form of the series of elements and systems that have been researched and created.
