TAKING EMBODIMENT SERIOUSLY:
INTEGRATING COGNITION, EMOTION AND ACTION
Much research in embodied AI and cognitive science emphasizes the fact
that robots, like animals, but unlike the computer models of classical
AI, are "embodied". However, in this talk it is argued that the
physical embodiment that robots share with animals provides only one
aspect of the "organismic embodiment" that is underlying natural
cognition. Based on Damasio's theory of emotions (as survival-related
bioregulatory reactions) and feelings (mental representations of
physiological changes during emotions), the talk discusses why life
is relevant to mind and outlines a project that aims to model the
integration of cognition, emotion and self-preserving action in
robots.
