Representations of active animate entities in Fido
Aaron Sloman
Whatever is required for representing inactive and active
inanimate things will also be required for representing
animate active spatial things, like people and animals,
(including representation of spatial locations, spatial
relationships) and various kinds of changes of location and
relationships, including translations, rotations and shape changes.
In addition to those common requirements, when Fido is thinking about or
perceiving another animate agent, there will be a need to relate spatial
facts (e.g. posture, direction of gaze, kind of actions being performed)
to intentions, goals, beliefs, preferences, percepts of the agent.
This is just one of many contexts in which the robot will need
representations for mental states. There are many old problems
relating to such representations, including problems of referential
opacity.
