Self-Other Discrimination - a Prerequisite of Man-Robot Cooperation?

主要目标是将自我-他人歧视的哲学概念置于实验可证明的基础上。因此，我们将论述限制在感觉运动控制上，并寻找能够区分自制和外国制造的感觉流入的核心机制。人类和机器人在运动的生产和控制中处于相同的物理条件下，因此必须依靠可比较的测量方法。因此，我们期待类似的问题解决方案。对人与机器人在末端执行器的“触觉闭合”下的相互作用的兴趣使我们关注触觉和本体感觉的心理生理方面。在技术方面，我们专注于相应的测量技术。将这个主题嵌入到适当扩展的自动机理论中，可以深入了解人类主要是如何处理外来物体、自己的肢体、假肢、智能机器和机器人，甚至是它们的同类。我们希望计划中的调查将在经验上支持这些见解。因此，我们期望得到与运动控制理论以及人机交互实践相关的结果。

The predominant goal is to put rather philosophical concepts of self-other-discrimination on an experimentally provable basis. Thereto we limit the discourse to sensorimotor control and look for core mechanisms that enable discriminating between self-made and foreign-made sensory inflow. Humans and robots are subject to the same physical conditions in the production and control of their movements and must therefore rely on comparable measuring methods. We therefore expect comparable problem solutions. The interest in the interaction between humans and robots under “haptic closure” of their end effectors leads us to focus on the psycho-physiological side on haptics and proprioception. On the technical side, we concentrate on the corresponding measurement technique. Embedding the topic into the appropriately expanded automata theory provides insights, how humans principally deal with foreign objects, with their own limbs, with artificial limbs, with smart machines and robots, and even with their conspecifics. We hope that the planned investigations will underpin these insights empirically. Therefore, we expect results relevant for the theory of movement control as well as for the practice of human-robot interaction.
