How do emotions contribute to robotic learning? This paper by Riccardo Manzotti, Giorgio Metta, and Giulio Sandini highlights the cognitive and phenomenological roles of emotions in robotic development, demonstrating their potential as reinforcement mechanisms for decision-making and behavior adaptation.
What differentiates artificial intelligence from artificial consciousness? This paper by Graham Findlay and colleagues explores this question using Integrated Information Theory (IIT), a leading framework for evaluating consciousness.
How can robots achieve a sense of self? This paper by K. Kawamura and colleagues outlines the development of a robot with self-awareness through a multiagent-based cognitive architecture and adaptive working memory systems.
Robots capable of adapting to unstructured environments require innovative methodologies. This paper, authored by Antonio Chella, Massimo Cossentino, Valeria Seidita, and Calogera Tona, explores the design of self-conscious robotic systems through the perception loop, fostering autonomous learning and adaptive decision-making.
How does the brain shape beliefs unconsciously? This paper, authored by Hans-Ferdinand Angel and Rüdiger J. Seitz, introduces “credition” as a central brain function, interlinking cognitive and emotional processes to drive human behavior and worldview formation.
What role can consciousness play in autonomous robots? This paper by Bruce J. MacLennan explores functions of consciousness, including deliberate control, self-awareness, and metacognition, while addressing the “Hard Problem” of subjective awareness in robots from the perspective of protophenomena theory.
What are the philosophical and functional challenges of consciousness in robots? This paper by Bruce J. MacLennan examines the role of consciousness in autonomous robots, discussing the “less hard” problems like self-awareness and intrinsic intentionality, and delving into the “Hard Problem” of subjective experience.
Can current AI systems be considered conscious? This paper by Patrick Butlin and colleagues examines the possibility through neuroscientific theories of consciousness and computational indicators.
What are the requirements for AI to develop consciousness? This paper by Hadi Esmaeilzadeh and Reza Vaezi explores the theoretical conditions for the emergence of conscious AI, including metathinking, empathy, and creativity akin to human self-awareness.
How can robots integrate consciousness and emotions to improve human-robot interaction? This paper by Remigiusz Szczepanowski and colleagues explores computational frameworks for modeling consciousness-emotion (C-E) interactions, drawing insights from neurobiology and machine consciousness to inform social robotics.
