Cognitive architectures: Research issues and challenges
Cognitive Systems Research

Developments in autonomous agents for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), particularly social, are gathering pace. The typical approach to such efforts is to start with an application to a specific interaction context (problem, task, or aspect of interaction) and then try to generalise to different contexts. Alternatively however, the application of Cognitive Architectures emphasises generality across contexts in the first instance. While not the "silver-bullet" solution, this perspective has a number of advantages both in terms of the functionality of the resulting systems, and indeed in the process of applying these ideas. Centred on invited talks to present a range of perspectives, this workshop provides a forum to introduce and discuss the application (both existing and potential) of Cognitive Architectures to HRI, particularly in the social domain. Participants will gain insight into how such a consideration of Cognitive Architectures complements the development of autonomous social robots.
