Development of a Robot with a Sense of Self K. Kawamura, W. Dodd, P. Ratanaswasd and R. A. Gutierrez Center for Intelligent Systems, Vanderbilt University1 Nashville, Tennessee 37235-0131 USA kawamura@ Abstract – This paper describes our efforts Most robots currently can perform only those or to develop a robot with a sense of self using a similar tasks which they were programmed for and multiagent-based cognitive architecture and very little emerging behaviors are exhibited. What is control with three distinctive memory systems, needed is an alternative paradigm for behavior namely (1) spatio-temporal short-term memory, learning and task execution. We believe that robust (2) procedural / declarative / episodic long-term and timely responses to the full range of memory and (3) a task-oriented adaptive contingencies often present in complex task working memory. Such a robot may be called a environments will require something more than the cognitive robot. Cognitive robots share a number combination of traditional approaches. Specifically, of key features with conscious machines. We are we see our brain’s cognitive flexibility and exploring the interface between cognitive robots adaptability as desirable design goals for a next and machine consciousness through an internal generation of intelligent robots.
