cognitive robotics

Cognitive robotics is a field of technology involving robots that can learn from experience, from human teachers, and even on their own, thereby developing the ability to effectively deal with their environment.

Most robotics researchers use animal reasoning as the basis for the development and evolution of robotic behavior and intelligence. The primary goal is to make the robot act and react appropriately in real-world situations. Common elements and functions of a so-called smart robot include:

• Machine vision
• Voice recognition
• Speech synthesis
• Proximity sensing
• Pressure sensing
• Texture sensing
• Anticipation and planning
• Programmable motion
• Imitation of motion
• Teachability
• Ability to learn from mistakes
• Long-term knowledge acquisition
• Ability to explore on its own
