Abstract

A cognitive robot is being designed to be utilized in four research projects studying the resolution of ambiguity in human and robotic systems: in natural language understanding systems, carried out in the Sentence Processing laboratory; in active vision systems, carried out in the Computer and Robot Vision laboratory; in memory retrieval systems, carried out in the Cognitive Science laboratory; and in robot reasoning and actuation, carried out in the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratories. The goal is to integrate these projects through the use of a cognitive robot which would allow ambiguity resolution in each of these research areas to be enhanced by the resolution capabilities of the other areas
