High Level Biomimetic Artificial Intelligence: Building Understandable Robots

摘要

In this paper we present a new approach to the development of systems that exhibit human-like intelligent behaviour. We introduce 'high level biomimetic artificial intelligence' as a special form of more general biomimetic artificial intelligence. The goal of high level biomimetic artificial intelligence is to model and mimic the behaviour of humans (and intelligent animals) using transparent high level artificial intelligence techniques. A strong motivation behind this research is the need to build intelligent robots that humans can understand, have confidence in, and above all, be comfortable with. We discuss the fundamentals of biomimetic artificial intelligence and how it relates to previous work on humanist computing and modelling with words. We also seek to emphasise the high level aspects of biomimetic artificial intelligence and how they relate to low level features in stimulus-response agents.
