Polymorphic Robotics

Written by Raúl Arrabales Moreno

Thursday, 01 February 2007

Polymorphic Robotics, self-adaptive, self-organizing, and generally self-* properties of robotics are usually related to the field of machine consciousness. Basically, some degree of self-consciousness is required to self-repair or self-heal a robot. The SASO 2007 Conference covers this discipline (First IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems. Boston, Mass., USA, July 9-11, 2007) [1].

Related topics are: self-organization, self-adaptiveness, self-management, self-monitoring, self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration. There is no doubt that integrating these kinds of techniques with higher cognitive models requires a machine consciousness like model.

Some examples of polymorphic robots are available from the Polymorphic Robotics Lab at University of Southern California [2].

CRONOS Project

Written by Raúl Arrabales Moreno

Wednesday, 31 January 2007

The website of CRONOS PROJECT covers Owen Holland's and Tom Troscianko's EPSRC Adventure fund project to build a conscious robot (GR/S47946/01). This three year project is taking place at the University of Essex and the University of Bristol and will finish in April 2007.

The main components of this project are a hardware robot called CRONOS, a virtual copy of this robot known as SIMNOS, a visual system closely based on the human brain, the SpikeStream neural simulator, and systematic methods for identifying and describing the conscious states of the system.

Moor ISSN: 0924-6495 (print version) ISSN: 1572-8641 (electronic version) Journal no. 11023 Springer Netherlands Minds and Machines affords an international forum for the discussion and debate of important and controversial issues concerning significant developments within its areas of editorial focus. Well-reasoned contributions from diverse theoretical perspectives are welcome and every effort will be made to ensure their prompt publication. Among the features that make this journal distinctive within the field are these: Strong stands on controversial issues are especially encouraged Important articles exceeding normal journal length may appear Special issues devoted to specific topics are a regular feature Critical responses to previously published pieces are invited Review essays discussing current problem situations will appear. This journal fosters a tradition of criticism within the AI and philosophical communities on problems and issues of common concern. Its scope explicitly encompasses philosophical aspects of computer science. All submissions will be subject to review. Editorial Focus: Machines and Mentality - Knowledge and Its Representation - Epistemic Aspects of Computer Programming - Connectionist Conceptions - Artificial Intelligence and Epistemology - Computer Methodology - Computational Approaches to Philosophical Issues - Philosophy of Computer Science - Simulation and Modelling - Ethical Aspects of Artificial Intelligence.

Self-Replicating Robots

Written by Raúl Arrabales Moreno
Monday, 25 December 2006
Researchers from Cornell University (Hod Lipson and colleagues) built a robot than can reproduce. Self-replication and self-reparation are desirable properties of robots for some environments. The following video shows the proof of concept robot (2005) made up of "molecubes": More information about this project: Press release. Hod Lipson's page on self-replication.
