Abstract

Tekkotsu (the name means "framework" in Japanese; see www.Tekkotsu.org) is an application development framework for the Sony AIBO robot dog. Over the last two years we have been developing a new layer of Tekkotsu to support an approach to robot programming that we call "cognitive robotics". The idea is to provide a set of higher level primitives for perception and action, inspired by ideas from cognitive science, so that programmers can construct intelligent behaviors at a much more abstract level. Three components of our approach are described here: visual routines, dual-coding representations, and perceivable affordances.
