Principles for consciousness in integrated cognitive control |

Wednesday, 14 November 2007 |
The article Principles for consciousness in integrated cognitive control by Ricardo Sanz, Ignacio López, Manuel Rodríguez and Carlos Hernández has been published in the journal Neural Networks
In this paper we will argue that given certain conditions for the evolution of biological controllers, they will necessarily evolve in the direction of
incorporating consciousness capabilities. We will also see what are the necessary mechanics for the provision of these capabilities and extrapolate
this vision to the world of artificial systems.

A Functional Approach to Emotion in Autonomous Systems |
|
|
Wednesday, 14 November 2007 |
This is a chapter by Ricardo Sanz, Carlos Hernández, Jaime Gómez and Adolfo Hernando that has been published in the book Brain Inspired Cognitive Systems 2008
Abstract: The construction of fully effective systems seems to pass through the proper exploitation of goal-centric self-evaluative capabilities that let the system teleologically self-manage. Emotions seem to provide this kind of functionality to biological systems and hence the interest in emotion for function sustainment in artificial systems performing in changing and uncertain environments; far beyond the media hullabaloo of displaying human-like emotion-laden faces in robots. This chapter provides a brief analysis of the scientific theories of emotion and presents an engineering approach for developing technology for robust autonomy by implementing functionality inspired in that of biological emotions.

AAAI Workshop on AI and Consciousness |
|
|
Wednesday, 14 November 2007 |
The AAAI Workshop on Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence:
Theoretical foundations and current approaches took place at
Washington DC on 8-11 November 2007.
We presented there the paper titled Self-awareness in Real-time Cognitive Control Architectures that was very well received.
In this paper we describe the approach taken in the UPM Autonomous
Systems Laboratory for the development of technology of full, bounded autonomy.
This effort is taking us into the study of the phenomenology of consciousness especially in relation with the construction of mechanisms for system self-awareness.
The progress of this work can be tracked in our ASys and SOUL projects webpages. The ASys Project is a long-term project that deals with the development
of an engineering process and a collection of assets for the implementation of autonomous systems . The SOUL Project develops a generic architecture for self-
aware autonomous systems.

Design patterns for distributed control applications |

Within industrial automation the architectural trend goes in the direction of distributed control systems with distributed decision making based on distributed intelligence. Several approaches have been made in that direction resulting in a set of different applicable structures and architectures. Within the different levels of control the different structures will provide the possibility to investigate similar structures and to deduce general design pattern for distributed control systems on the different levels. For the level of field control systems this deduction is made in this article.
