Abstract

A new approach to building robots with anticipatory behavior is presented. This approach is based on analogy with a single episode from the past experience of the robot. The AMBR model of analogy-making is used as a basis, but it is extended with new agent-types and new mechanisms that allow anticipation related to analogical transfer. The role of selective attention on retrieval of memory episodes is tested in a series of simulations and demonstrates the context sensitivity of the AMBR model. The results of the simulations clearly demonstrated that endowing robots with analogy-based anticipatory behavior is promising and deserves further investigation.
