Perception and cognition: Two foremost ingredients toward autonomous intelligent robots

Abstract

Inspired by early-ages human's skills developments, the present paper accosts the robots' intelligence from a different slant directing the attention to both "cognitive" and "perceptual" abilities. the machine's (robot's) shrewdness is constructed on the basis of a Multi-level cognitive concept attempting to handle complex artificial behaviors. The intended complex behavior is the autonomous discovering of objects by robot exploring an unknown environment. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
