Cognition in Systems: Short version

摘要

In this paper the architecture of the cognitive apparatus of future autonomous systems is discussed. A major application area addressed are small numbers of cooperating autonomous systems. However, also huge technical installations, such as computer-integrated plants with nested control loops, belong into this framework as do autonomous road vehicles. A major application field considered are service robots that have to cope with partly unknown environments and changing tasks to be performed. Here, the aspect of resource-constraint intelligence plays a role. It is a belief behind this paper that service robots will gain enormous economic significance and that, therefore, such general architectures should be considered. This is presently also a focus in robotics, for example, regarding the concept of bodies.
