RT Conference Proceedings T1 Percepts symbols or Action symbols? Generalizing how all modules interact within a software architecture for cognitive robotics A1 Marfil, Rebeca A1 Manso, Luis J. A1 Bandera, Juan Pedro A1 Romero Garcés, Adrián A1 Bandera, Antonio A1 Bustos, Pablo A1 Calderita, Luis Vicente A1 González Dorado, José Carlos A1 García Olaya, Ángel A1 Fuentetaja Pizán, Raquel A1 Fernández Rebollo, Fernando AB Robots require a close coupling of perception and action. Cognitive robots go beyond this to require a further coupling with cognition. From the perspective of robotics, this coupling generally emphasizes a tightly integrated perceptuomotor system, which is then loosely connected to some limited form of cognitive system such as a planner. At the other end, from the perspective of automated planning, the emphasis is on a highly functional system that, taken to its extreme, calls perceptual and motor modules as independent functions. This paper proposes to join both perspectives through a unique representation where the responses of all modules on the software architecture (percepts or actions) are grounded using the same set of symbols. This allows to generalize the signal-to-symbol divide that separates classic perceptuomotor and automated planning systems, being the result a software architecture where all software modules interact using the same tokens.
