Creating Robots with Toddler-Level Intelligence

Creating Robots with Toddler-Level Intelligence Using the OpenCog AGI Architecture Timeline /Milestones Hl: May- Oct 2013 • Creation of prototype system using OpenCog to control Hanson Robokind • Initial integration of DeSTIN with OpenCog/Robokind • Improvement of OpenCog infrastructure for effective real-time robot control Milestone: Initial evaluation on WPPSI Verbal Vocabulary. Basic testing of OpenCog-powered Robokind for tabletop-based robot-human interactions. H2: Nov 13 — Apr 14 • Completion of DeSTIN integration • Testing and tuning of DeSTIN/OpenCog for object recognition from both pictures and physically present scenes • Testing and tuning of OpenCog for robot action control • Testing and tuning of OpenCog's PLN reasoning component for question-answering about commonsense objects, concepts and events • Teaching system to recognize everyday objects and events and their parts, via exposure to childrens' books and other similar materials containing labeled images Milestone: Initial evaluation on WPPSI Verbal Information, Comprehension, Similarity, Picture Naming and Receptive Vocabulary. Ability to follow simple instructions. H3: May — Oct 2014 • Eye-hand coordination for physical manipulation of objects, with a focus on tabletop situations • Experimentation with reasoning based on pictures (similarities, differences, categories of objects depicted in pictures) • Fine-tuning of action/dialogue schema for complex social interactions Milestone: Initial evaluation on WPPSI Picture Information, Picture Vocabulary, Word Reasoning, Matrix Reasoning, Picture Concepts, Picture Completion, Symbol Search, Coding. Ability to interact appropriately in EFTA01103519 task-based interactions with an examiner. H4: Nov 14 Apr 15 • Experimentation with manipulation of objects • Learning about objects of various shapes and textures • Improvement of previously achieved capabilities, as needed Milestone: Evaluation on WPM Block Design and Object Assembly tasks.
