Research Outline Goal: Intelligent communication (eg for teaching)
requirements
Desires Sensation Understanding Language + + + + Motivation Manipulation Cognition Communication
Using sensation and manipulation, motivated by desire, understanding and cognition develop, leading to language as a method of communication.
A) Desire and Motivation: a reactive system consisting of unsatisfied desires motivates behaviour.
B) Sensation and Manipulation: at least 2 senses required - vision and touch, 3 senses preferable - sound, at least 1 complex manipulator required, 2 preferable.
