Cognitive Architecture Based Simulation of Perception and Behavior Controls for Robot

Abstract

This paper firstly proposes a basic framework to form a cognitive robot – the primary functional units and cognitive abilities. Then it focuses on the module’s composition and the basic functions for a cognitive architecture by merit attention of neurocognitive research achievements and the research results of existing cognitive architecture. Robot’s motion/control simulation is implemented by applying the robot simulator v-rep, the cognitive architecture is conceive and developed by using python program language, and cognitive robot perception and behavior control based on hybrid cognitive architecture is realized through an interface call to v-rep API. As a case, a robot to avoid obstacles and its behaviors controlled by the cognitive process is conducted.
