Grounding of relations and abstract symbols in the decision unit of an embodied agent

摘要

This paper is about problems in the area of the artificial intelligence (AI) of an embodied agent, i.e. a robot or any other autonomous machine, whether simulated or real. We discuss the necessity of grounding the concepts that form relations between symbols in the decision unit of such an agent. We explore existing concepts for knowledge engineering in the field of the Semantic Technologies to determine which grounded base vocabulary might be necessary, we detect that besides bodily experienced basics intelligence also deals with mental experiences and show a possible way to ground the concept for subclass as an example.
