Goal: To produce a robot that will learn to understand and carry out simple tasks in response to natural language requests. Beliefs: 1. Human intelligence, and hence language, is primarily semantic. 2. The mind forms semantic concepts through the correlation of events and cues close together in time and/or space. 3. An integrated sensory-motor system is necessary to ground these concepts and allow the mind to form a semantic representation of reality—there is no such thing as a disembodied mind. |
