The current state of the art in cognitive robotics, covering the challenges of building AI-powered intelligent robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. A novel approach to building AI-powered intelligent robots takes inspiration from the way natural cognitive systems—in humans, animals, and biological systems—develop intelligence by exploiting the full power of interactions between body and brain, the physical and social environment in which they live, and phylogenetic, developmental, and learning dynamics. This volume reports on the current state of the art in cognitive robotics, offering the first comprehensive coverage of building robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. Con...
Interaction between language and cognition remains an unsolved scientific problem. What are the differences in neural mechanisms of language and cognition? Why do children acquire language by the age of six, while taking a lifetime to acquire cognition? What is the role of language and cognition in thinking? Is abstract cognition possible without language? Is language just a communication device, or is it fundamental in developing thoughts? Why are there no animals with human thinking but without human language? Combinations even among 100 words and 100 objects (multiple words can represent multiple objects) exceed the number of all the particles in the Universe, and it seems that no amount ...
La tribù s'era fermata. Aveva trovato in mezzo al deserto un vasto paese ricco d'acqua, di prati e d'alberi, e, involontariamente, senza che nessuno lo proponesse, invece di farvi una delle solite soste fugaci, aveva messo radice in quel paradiso, era stata avvinghiata dalla terra e non aveva più saputo staccarsene. Pareva fosse giunta a quel grado superiore di evoluzione che esclude la vita nomade; riposava della marcia secolare. Le tende lentamente si mutarono in case; ogni membro della tribù divenne proprietario. Corsero gli anni. Alì, un guerriero inquieto, refrattario alla nuova vita, sellò il cavallo e galoppò da una parte all'altra di quello ch'egli s'ostinava di chiamare acca...
Un improvviso, casuale e apparentemente insignificante incidente diplomatico fra docenti universitari innesca una catena inarrestabile di fraintendimenti. Il vecchio professore Alberto Berlingieri e il giovane ricercatore Alessandro Settìmi diventano i poli opposti di una tragicomica guerra per il territorio la cui insensatezza travalica molto presto i confini accademici per acquistare una dimensione universale. Il romanzo mette a nudo tutte le contraddizioni, le frustrazioni e la vuotezza del nostro tempo.
This book presents recent advances in nonlinear speech processing beyond nonlinear techniques. It shows that it exploits heuristic and psychological models of human interaction in order to succeed in the implementations of socially believable VUIs and applications for human health and psychological support. The book takes into account the multifunctional role of speech and what is “outside of the box” (see Björn Schuller’s foreword). To this aim, the book is organized in 6 sections, each collecting a small number of short chapters reporting advances “inside” and “outside” themes related to nonlinear speech research. The themes emphasize theoretical and practical issues for mod...
