Efforts to create computational models of consciousness have accelerated over the last two
decades, creating a field that has become known as artificial consciousness. There have …

Various disciplines have examined the many phenomena of metacognition and have
produced numerous results, both positive and negative. I discuss some of these aspects of …

In this paper we present a broad overview of the last 40 years of research on cognitive
architectures. To date, the number of existing architectures has reached several hundred …

The embodied and situated approach to artificial intelligence (AI) has matured and become
a viable alternative to traditional computationalist approaches with respect to the practical …

Planning is motivated by acting. Most of the existing work on automated planning
underestimates the reasoning and deliberation needed for acting; it is instead biased …

Goal reasoning (GR) has a bright future as a foundation for the research and development of
intelligent agents. GR is the study of agents that can deliberate on and self-select their …

In this paper, I pose a new research challenge–to develop intelligent agents that exhibit
radical autonomy by responding to sudden, long-term changes in their environments. I …

Modern complex games and simulations pose many challenges for an intelligent agent,
including partial observability, continuous time and effects, hostile opponents, and …

To operate autonomously in complex environments, an agent must monitor its environment
and determine how to respond to new situations. To be considered intelligent, an agent …

We present a metacognitive, integrated, dual-cycle architecture whose function is to provide
agents with a greater capacity for acting robustly in a dynamic environment and managing …
