5 Cognitive development type robotics
Conventional robotics set out as the coalescence between intelligence and body. But it is hard to fit in, therefore one would conclude that such a robot acts and learns by itself in the design stage. This is so-called cognitive development type robotics.
Hanamura （2019）explains that cognitive development type robotics is the dynamic intelligence that initially starts with an incomplete robot (intelligence and body), and then lets the robot develop this from communication and behavior.
Cognitive development robots start with undeveloped intelligence and body, and team up with objective achievement type robots. For example, a cleaning robot doesn’t understand at first where a room gets dusty. But, by cleaning repeatedly, the robot learns that the room gets dusty under the sofa. Then when it moves there, the suction action commences automatically.
