Modelling Consciousness for Autonomous Robot Exploration. Arrabales, R., Ledezma, A., & Sanchis, A. In Mira, J. & Álvarez, J.

This work aims to describe the application of a novel machine consciousness model to a particular problem of unknown environment exploration. This relatively simple problem is analyzed from the point of view of the possible benefits that cognitive capabilities like attention, environment awareness and emotional learning can offer. The model we have developed integrates these concepts into a situated agent control framework, whose first version is being tested in an advanced robotics simulator. The implementation of the relationships and synergies between the different cognitive functionalities of consciousness in the domain of autonomous robotics is also discussed.
