Hybrid intelligent systems and cognitive robotics

Summary form only given. There has been substantial progress in both intelligent systems and robotics in recent years. While in the past robots were most successful in traditional industrial environments, new generations of hybrid intelligent robotic systems are being developed which focus on higher cognitive capabilities, including reasoning learning and language communication. In this paper we give an overview of learning neural robots from a perspective of integrative hybrid intelligent systems and illustrate some new developments including also examples under development in the Centre for Hybrid Intelligent Systems.
