What’s Cognitive Robotics?

Cognitive robotics creates AI robots that can think, learn, and perform tasks. They have senses to perceive the world and a complex skeleton to react to external stimuli. AI allows them to learn from incoming information and revise their thinking. Motivation is added directly or through the AI system.

Cognitive robotics is a branch of robotics that seeks to create artificial intelligence (AI) robots that can think and revise their own thinking, just like humans. In addition to being able to think, cognitive robotics works to create motivated robots that want to learn or perform tasks. To gather information about the outside world, which can help them make decisions and assist in learning, robots are designed to have senses like humans that allow them to perceive the world. Movement is also important in making these robots, so they can react to external stimuli; this requires a complex robotic skeleton to work in conjunction with the sensors.

One of the most important aspects of cognitive robotics is the use of AI. This is a type of logical construct that allows robots to learn from incoming information, which also leads to decision making, reasoning and other common aspects of human thinking. Robots also need to be able to revise their thinking, so they can erase mistakes and errors in judgment and replace them with new, correct information. To ensure that the robots can contain all the new information that comes in so that the AI ​​system can continue to grow, they are provided with large hard drives or similar drives.

Along with thinking, robots need motivation to act. This includes goals, aspirations and preferences. Without motivation, robots may be unwilling to gather new information, which will reduce how well these robots emulate humans. Motivation can be added in two ways. Cognitive robotics programmers can add it directly to robots or the motivation can manifest from the AI ​​system.

An AI system needs a constant stream of new information or the system has nothing to do and learns. To fulfill this, the branch of cognitive robotics seeks to create robots that can perceive the outside world. This is typically done via sensors, and the robots receive basic information about touch, smell, sight, sound and perhaps taste, although some systems omit taste, because they don’t see it as a necessity.

To further emulate humans, cognitive robots are built with skeletons similar to a human skeleton. The skeleton has many joints so that the robots can move. When external stimuli affect the robots, such as passing a ball or sliding an object near the robots, their AI system gathers information about the object such as where it came from and how fast it is moving. Like humans, these robots are made to react by grabbing the ball or watching the object slide.
