Title of Lecture:

Model of Cognition and its Applications to Robot Perception & Computational Vision


Abstract: Cognitive Science is an interdisciplinary field that has arisen during the past decade at the intersection of a number of existing disciplines, including psychology, linguistics, computer science, philosophy, and physiology. The shared interest that has produced this coalition understands the nature of the mind. This quest is an old one, dating back to antiquity in the case of philosophy, but new ideas are emerging from the fresh approach of Cognitive Science.
The field of cognitive science overlaps AI. Cognitive scientists study the nature of intelligence from a psychological point of view, mostly building computer models that help elucidate what happens in our brains during problem solving, remembering, perceiving, and other psychological processes. One major contribution of AI and cognitive science to psychology has been the information processing model of human thinking in which the metaphor of brain-as-computer is taken quite literally.

Various States of Cognition:



Cognitive Memory: Sensory information is stored in human brain at closely linked neuron cells. Information in some cells could be preserved only for a short duration, which is referred as Short Term Memory (STM). Further, there are cells in human brain that can hold information for quite a long time, which is called Long Term Memory (LTM).

Cycles of Cognition:

  • Acquisition Cycle
  • Perception Cycle
  • Learning & Coordination Cycle


Applications:

  • Sensing Technology
  • Data acquisition & Data Fusion
  • Perception, Computational Vision
  • Stereo Vision
  • Reasoning & Learning
  • Soft Computing
  • Actuation
  • Agent/ Multi Agent System, Robotics, Humanoid
