Creating Intelligent Humanoid Robots

Creating Intelligent Humanoid Robots Using the OpenCog AGI Architecture Timeline /Milestones Hl: April- Sep 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: OpenCog's knowledge base creates semantic representations corresponding to objects and simple spatial relationships that are recognized, via DeSTIN, through the Robokind's camera eyes H2: Oct 13 — Mar 14 • Completion of DeSTIN integration • Testing and tuning of OpenCog for robot action control • Revision of OpenCog language processing subsystem to enable flexible language learning Milestone: Using OpenCog's dialogue system, the robot can carry out simple, brief English conversations about what it sees, and what it's doing H3: April — Sep 2014 • Teaching the system emotion and gesture perception • Experimentation with imitation learning • Porting "building/playing with blocks" behaviors from game world to robot Milestone: The robot can carry out simple physical activities in the world, e.g. building with foam blocks and delivering objects, based on observing and verbally communicating with humans in that context H4: Oct 14 — Mar 15 r • Emotionally modulated speech generation • Teaching the system to describe its behaviors, and ask questions, appropriately • Emotionally and socially appropriate linguistic communication Milestone: The robot can explain its activities and associated feelings, while carrying out simple physical activities together with humans (e.g. building simple structures with foam blocks, delivering items to people in a robot lab, walking to specified people and asking them questions) EFTA01103535
