Abstract
We present integration mechanisms for combining heterogeneous
components in a situated information processing system, illustrated by
a cognitive robot able to collaborate with a human and display some
understanding of its surroundings. These mechanisms include an
architectural schema that encourages parallel and incremental
information processing, and a method for binding information
from distinct representations that when faced with rapid change in the
world can maintain a coherent, though distributed, view of it.
Provisional results are demonstrated in a robot combining vision,
manipulation, language, planning and reasoning capabilities
interacting with a human and manipulable objects.
