Abstract:
Paving the way for advanced cognitive technologies and applications, an ontology for automated cognition, cognitics, has been proposed. Starting in a pragmatic way from where we stand, in particular with humans creating robots, progressing with distributed axioms, navigating through small contexts in direction of selected goals (design of high performance machines, of robots cooperating with humans, and better understanding of cognition in humans), we adopt an incremental, constructivist approach, in conceptual and operational frameworks. Discussion is made in the current paper of a number of cognitive notions including those of reality, time and revisited “speed”, change and discontinuity, innate and learned behaviors, as well as the human-inspired basics of communication in a group. These newly defined notions conveniently complement the existing Model for Cognitive Sciences ontology. All these elements confirm the rightness of our current approaches in solving concrete Artificial Intelligence problems and this is illustrated below by some concrete examples taken in domestic context, including robots capable of learning.
