OpenPsi: Realizing Dörner's "psi" cognitive model in the OpenCog integrative AGI architecture

Abstract

Dietrich Doerner's "Psi" cognitive model, which was used as the basis for Joscha Bach's MicroPsi AGI system, is expressed in a quite different terminology and conceptual framework from the one normally used to discuss the OpenCog AGI system. However, the two systems are fundamentally conceptually compatible, and we describe here the basis of a realization of the Psi model within OpenCog, which we call "OpenPsi." Currently OpenPsi is being used to control non-player characters in a game world, and application to humanoid robotics is also underway. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
