Cognitive Robotics: For Never Was a Story of More Woe than This ()
Abstract
We are now on the verge of the next
technical revolution—robots are going to invade our lives. However, to interact
with humans or to be incorporated into a human “collective” robots have to be
provided with some human-like cognitive abilities. What does it mean?—Nobody
knows. But, robotics research communities are trying hard to find out a way to
cope with this problem. Meanwhile, despite abundant funding these efforts did
not lead to any meaningful result (only in Europe, only in the past ten years,
Cognitive Robotics research funding has reached a ceiling of 1.39 billion
euros). In the next ten years, a similar budget is going to be spent to tackle
the Cognitive Robotics problems in the frame of the Human Brain Project. There
is no reason to expect that this time the result will be different. We would
like to try to explain why we are so unhappy about this.
