A Cognitive Robotics System: The Symbolic and Subsymbolic Robotics Intelligence Control System (SS-RICS)

Abstract

This report details the progress on the development of the Symbolic and Subsymbolic Robotics Intelligence Control System (SS-RICS). The system is a goal-oriented production system, based loosely on the cognitive architecture the Adaptive Control of Thought - Rational (ACT-R), with some additions and changes. We have found that to simulate complex cognition on a robot, many aspects of cognition (long-term memory [LTM], perception) needed to be in place before any generalized intelligent behavior can be produced. In working with ACT-R, we found that it was a good instantiation of working memory but that we needed to add other aspects of cognition, including LTM and perception, to have a complete cognitive system. We note progress to date and address the remaining challenges.
