| summary | Robot consciousness is an emerging field that addresses the problems of designing and implemen-
ting computational models of consciousness in a robot. The target of robot consciousness research is twofold:
the possibility of building conscious robots and the analysis of the active role of consciousness in control-
ling and planning the behavior of a robot. Robot consciousness is placed at the crossing between technical
disciplines as AI, robotics, computer science and engineering, theoretical disciplines as philosophy of mind,
linguistics, logic, and empirical disciplines as psychology and neuroscience. It focuses on attempts to apply
the methods of AI, robotics and computer science to understand consciousness and to examine the possible
role of consciousness in Robotics. On the one hand there is the hope that facing the problem of consciousness
would be a decisive move to design autonomous robots, on the other hand the implementations of robotic
models of consciousness could be helpful for understanding natural consciousness. The talk will present the
current state of research in robot consciousness and it will discuss the theoretical foundations and the ex-
perimental results of the field and their importance for the Robotics community. The talk will be divided
in four parts: i) theoretical issues of consciousness, ii) models of robot consciousness, iii) case studies and
implemented robots, iv) discussions and perspectives of robot consciousness. |
