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 …

A comprehensive overview of an interdisciplinary approach to robotics that takes direct
inspiration from the developmental and learning phenomena observed in children's …

A concise introduction to a complex field, bringing together recent work in cognitive science
and cognitive robotics to offer a solid grounding on key issues. This book offers a concise …

We present a framework that allows a robot manipulator to learn how to execute structured
tasks from human demonstrations. The proposed system combines physical human–robot …

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is essential for tackling urban environmental
challenges and facilitating renewable energy recycling. The MSWI process has …

One of the overarching goals of robotics research is that robots ultimately coexist with
people in human societies as an integral part of them. In order to achieve this goal, robots …

This paper presents a hybrid robot cognitive architecture, CRAM, that enables robot agents
to accomplish everyday manipulation tasks. It addresses five key challenges that arise when …

This brief commentary on the general topic of 'body schema'is focused on its computational
role, as an internal model that integrates proprioceptive information, for allowing embodied …

Cognitive agents such as humans and robots perceive their environment through an
abundance of sensors producing streams of data that need to be processed to generate …

A robotic system that interacts with humans is expected to flexibly execute structured
cooperative tasks while reacting to unexpected events and behaviors. In this paper, we face …
