What is COGNITIVE ROBOTICS? Turing Fellow Angelo Cangelosi explains

The video tutorial introduces cognitive robotics, focusing on modeling human and animal intelligence in robots. It discusses the spectrum of intelligence, from basic survival skills to complex tasks like playing chess. The tutorial highlights specialized AI systems for tasks like object detection and speech recognition, and envisions a future where robots integrate multiple skills. It also compares natural language processing and computer vision in robotics to standard tasks.

What is the primary focus of cognitive robotics?

• Creating robots that can only perform mathematical tasks

• Designing robots that mimic human and animal intelligence

• Developing robots that can only play chess

• Modeling high-level cognitive skills like playing chess

According to Rodney Brooks, what should be the focus in AI development?

• Advanced chess-playing algorithms

• Complex mathematical problems

• High-level cognitive skills

• Simple practical capabilities

What is the long-term vision for AI systems in robotics?

• Robots that only perform visual tasks

• A single system combining multiple skills

• Specialized systems for each skill

• Robots that only understand language

How do current AI applications typically operate?

• By combining all skills into one system

• By specializing in specific skills

• By focusing solely on language processing

• By only performing visual recognition tasks

How does computer vision in robotics differ from standard tasks?

• It focuses only on image recognition

• It requires robots to interact with their environment

• It is limited to obstacle detection

• It does not involve any visual processing
