Future Deliverables

1999 - 2000

2000 - 2001:

Cog

  • Cog will move its entire body in coordination. This will allow Cog to discover its body and acquire an image of it.
  • Cog will be able to coordinate its tactile and vision senses to reach out and grab objects.
  • When Cog sees an action or plans an action it will activate its mirror neuron model.

Kismet

  • Kismet will adjust its behavior towards specific persons in terms of welcoming them more enthusiastically or with a degree of rejection.
  • Kismet will improve its proto-linguistic capabilities, including using English words, to elicit specific caretaker actions that meet its needs.
