In the last years, considerable research has been carried out to develop robots that can
improve our quality of life during tedious and challenging tasks. In these contexts, robots …

Image schemas are mental patterns learned from perceptual experiences capturing
conceptual constructions in expressions. In linguistic analysis, their visualizations are often …

A new concept of Intuition, the Deep Unconscious is considered on the basis of the
Paradigm of limiting generalizations. The book describes a high-level sketch. The results of …

Situationally-aware artificial agents operating with competence in natural environments face
several challenges: spatial awareness, object affordance detection, dynamic changes and …

Autonomous robots struggle with plan adaption in uncertain and changing environments.
Although modern robots can make popcorn and pancakes, they are incapable of performing …

Despite rapid progress, cognitive robots have yet to match the facility with which humans
acquire and find ways to reuse manipulation skills. An important component of human …

The notion of affordance remains elusive, notwithstanding its importance for the
representation of agency, cognition, and behaviors. This paper lays down a foundation for …

Optimising object order in stacking problems remains a hard problem for cognitive robotics
research. In this paper, we continue our work on using the spatiotemporal relationships …

Human beings and other biological agents appear driven by curiosity to explore the
affordances of their environments. Such exploration is its own reward–children have fun …

AI constructivism as inspired by Jean Piaget, described and surveyed by Frank Guerin, and
representatively implemented by Gary Drescher seeks to create algorithms and knowledge …
