This paper formalises Object–Action Complexes (OACs) as a basis for symbolic
representations of sensory–motor experience and behaviours. OACs are designed to …

Embodied cognition suggests that complex cognitive traits can only arise when agents have
a body situated in the world. The aspects of embodiment and situatedness are being …

Research in robotic systems has traditionally been identified with approaches that are
characterized by the use of carefully crafted representations and processes to find optimal …

The newly established cluster of excellence CoTeSys investigates the realization of
cognitive capabilities such as perception, learning, reasoning, planning, and execution for …

Recent developments in philosophy, linguistics, developmental psychology and artificial
intelligence make it possible to envision a developmental path for an artificial agent …

The predominant paradigm in cognitive science has been the cognitivistic one, exemplified
by the “Physical Symbol Systems Hypothesis”. The cognitivistic approach generated hopes …

Symbiotic autonomous systems (SAS) are advanced intelligent and cognitive systems that
exhibit autonomous collective intelligence enabled by coherent symbiosis of human …

Cognitive robotics is an approach to robot programming that draws inspiration from ideas in
cognitive science, such as visual routines (Ullman 1984), dual-coding representations …

Much prior work in integrating high-level artificial intelligence planning technology with low-
level robotic control has foundered on the significant representational differences between …

This position paper proposes that the study of embodied cognitive agents, such as
humanoid robots, can advance our understanding of the cognitive development of complex …
