Cognitive Robotics - Perception and Action Integration: Studying cognitive robotics systems that integrate perception and action capabilities to achieve intelligent behavior

Abstract

Cognitive robotics aims to develop robots that can perceive, reason, and act in complex environments, much like humans. One of the key challenges in cognitive robotics is the integration of perception and action, enabling robots to make sense of their surroundings and take appropriate actions. This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in cognitive robotics, focusing on the integration of perception and action. We discuss various approaches to perception-action integration, including sensor fusion, environment modeling, and action planning. We also highlight the importance of embodiment in cognitive robotics, emphasizing the role of physical interaction with the environment in shaping cognitive processes. Finally, we discuss future directions and challenges in the field, including the need for more robust and adaptive cognitive architectures.
