Dear all This message presents some research topics I would like to be working on in the context of n FP6 project, possibly a 4th Call project If you feel some of the mentioned topics would fit into a project of yours or if you think we could create a project proposal including some of them, please tell me The main goal I would like to contribute to achieve is that of creating generic agent architectures for general intelligence. In particular I would like to create architecture level mechanisms that can play, for artificial software agents, some of the facilitating roles that are supposed to be played by the body of living beings with respect to adaptation and problem solving. Some of those goals played by living beings' body are: - Symbol grounding and abstraction mechanisms (could be used for autonomous language / vocabulary learning) - Source of motives - Visual image that can be used in Learning by observation, and Non verbal communication - Emotions and affect (powerful adaptation mechanisms, for instance due to self regulation) - Offloading cognitive complexity to the environment Do you think this could fit into a project? Feel free to forward this email to anyone you think might be interested Thanks for your patience Sincerely -- Luis
