Development of a Cognitive Robot Powered by the Autonomous Learning Engine

认知机器人（CR）是一种能够模仿人脑自主学习和推理的类人机器人技术。传统命令式机器人的智能能力是基于预加载的存储程序控制技术。该研究计划将命令式机器人扩展到由认知计算和自主学习技术驱动的CR。短期目标是建立一个新的CR和自主机器人学习技术的发展。我们的长期目标是使技术成熟到一种新型的认知计算机，并通过我们实验室的合作伙伴，如IBM，Oracle，AAI，iCore和TRLabs，将先进的CR技术转移到行业中。

A cognitive robot (CR) is an emerging technology of humanoid robots that is capable of autonomous learning and reasoning mimicking the human brain. The intelligent abilities of traditional imperative robots are based on preloaded stored-program-control technologies. This research program extends imperative robots to a CR powered by cognitive computing and autonomous learning technologies. The short-term objectives are to build a novel CR and to develop the technologies for autonomous robot learning. The long-term objectives are to mature the technology towards a novel cognitive computer and to transfer advanced CR technologies to the industries via partners of my laboratory such as IBM, Oracle, AAI, iCore, and TRLabs.
