Future Deliverables (from 1999 - 2000)

Cog

  • When presented a random object, Cog will reach out and grab the object.
  • Cog will observe a person and make an inference about that person's beliefs.

Kismet

  • Use imitative games (based on facial imitation) to have the robot distinguish between self and other, social and non-social entities.
  • Learn a protolanguage and some simple communicative gestures through social interaction and imitative games, and demonstrate an understanding of their meaning by appropriately using them in new contexts.
