AI was born to address Alan Turing's question: "Can machines think?" (Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Mind 49, pp 433-460, 1950).
A robot is a machine endowed with sensors and actuators and with computational capacities, situated and acting in the real world. A grand challenge facing robotics today is to address Alan Turing's question rephrased as: "Can robots exhibit cognitive capacities?". These are defined in reference to natural cognition in humans and animals, in terms of four interleaved capacities that make cognition:
- Understanding of space, objects and situations
- Decision-making
- Learning
- Communication and interaction
Currently, I'm coordinating the Roboergosum project http://roboergosum.isir.upmc.fr funded by the French Research Agency ANR. The rationale of this project is that there is an intricate relationship - that we investigate - between an agent's consciousness, or self-awareness, and the interaction between the mind-body of this agent and its environment. That the understanding of its environment by the agent requires self-awareness, which actually is itself emerging as a result of this understanding and the distinction that the agent is capable to make between its own mind-body and its environment.
