The purpose of this project is to bridge the gap between the interactive capacities of current robotic agents and human-like cognitive abilities that have long been the aim of artificial intelligence research. The basic thesis is the concept that embodiment itself both enables and constraints our cognitive capacities. Through interaction with imagined stimuli we reuse concrete machinery for abstract tasks. By agreeing as a society to interpret arbitrary signals in terms of our experiences, we develop symbolic language. We understand music, metaphor, and even mathematics by virtue of their relationships to our physical experiences. This project utilizes this thesis as a foundation and further explores the ways in which sophisticated, symbolic, and abstract forms of cognition are built on our embodied experiences.

该项目的目的是弥合当前机器人代理的交互能力与长期以来一直是人工智能研究目标的人类认知能力之间的差距。 基本论点是这样一个概念，即具体化本身既能使我们的认知能力，又能限制我们的认知能力。 通过与想象刺激的互动，我们将具体的机器重新用于抽象的任务。 作为一个社会，我们同意根据我们的经验来解释任意的信号，我们发展了符号语言。 我们理解音乐、隐喻，甚至数学，都是因为它们与我们的物理体验有联系。 这个项目利用这篇论文作为基础，并进一步探索如何复杂的，象征性的，抽象的认知形式是建立在我们的具体经验。
