Sony Researchers: Intelligent Machines (Robot) Need Culture
Author Matthew Broersma
Translator Note: Robot I don't know when to start translation to "robots", this translation is really unpleasant. Today, Robot Fish, Robot Dog, Tobot Snake This type is all, collectively referred to as Robot, or to change a translation. At least in this article, Robot cannot be translated to "robots", otherwise it will be contrary to the original text. Do not translate "Smart Machines" in the topic, and in the body, you will keep English. Steels' argument is probably unacceptable, but we need at least a point: social wealth comes from creation, creates from free thinking, freely thinking from a suitable human environment.
Luc Steels (Professor, Brussels University, Director of the Paris Computer Science Laboratory) believes that the church Robot how to express yourself can make them more like a living body. This view is questioned by some people. Luc Steels believe that it is necessary to make Robot surpass AIBO (Sony Machine Dog - Translator Note) and makes it, you must let them interact, form your own language, even form your own "culture", can not be limited to improving a single machine behavior. Usually, Robot's intelligent path is only one, which is to build an increasingly complex machine. Luc Steels is in touch with this way, the view is quite new. If Luc Steels account for the wind, it will open up a new way for the Robot field. To date, people have been committed to let Robot have an increasingly complex behavior. Luc Steels believes that the next step should let Robot form their own concepts and interact with each other, thus developing their own "consciousness". Luc Steels said: "If you don't pay attention to social interaction, Robot research can't go". " At the "Biological Inspiration Robot" meeting held in Bristol on Thursday, Steels published his new work - "Evolution and sharing expression in profiling language games". STEELS The most ambitional project contains thousands of software agents (code snippet). These agents are propagated from the Internet to control Robot distributed in different cities in the world. These things can "learn" to associate with some words from the Robot and some words and other agents. The words and semantics spread between the agent, and its behavioral mode is very similar to the communication of human culture. Steels also also develops Sony Robot, including AIBO and a two-feet. He gives the Robot Configure cultural software so that it can play the word game.
Contrary to Tu Le
Steels research is machine intelligence, but the idea of the idea and the famous "Tuling Test" is large. According to the theory of Tulex, the sign of the success of the intelligence of the intelligence is: When the person is dialogue with the smart device, the person can determine the other person or the machine. Steels said: "I think the map spirit test is not very good. It is just a seemingly rather trick. According to that kind of test, the aircraft must make the birds really fake. In fact, the plane does not need to be able to fly." Steels It is believed that machines can be intelligent through mutual interactions, through interaction with their own ecological environment, but artificial intelligence does not need to be similar to human intelligence. Steels ridiculed, in a sense, AIBO has passed the map spirit test. He uses a TV short film to indicate this: AIBO is close to a dog who is eating meat, and the other side thinks is a real dog, launched it. He pointed out that entertainment Robot can exchange emotional signals and human (especially with children), but they lack life in their own circles. He said: "These Robot is like actors, they are expressing emotions, but there is no emotion." However, AIBO's device can see W. Grey Walter in the "Turtle Turtle" developed in the 20th and 1950s. "Subsequent products. In the 1990s, Steels made Robot using digital technology and homes, but in order to seek development, he turned to study the concept of "expression". In an example, it can explain the meaning of its steering: the street can be blocked with a roadblock, but the "prohibiting pass" street sign can achieve the same functionality. Expression is not only closely related to social interaction, but also reflects the function of the brain. The views of various non-recorded Steels are questioned by both theoretical and practical. Some researchers (such as Rodney Brooks of the Massachusetts Institute), the intelligent behavior does not require mutual expression in the circle. At this week's meeting, some people put forward such questions: only relying on today's camera and visual treatment software, it is not enough to have a true interaction with the outside world. Steels believe that there is no limit to technology, "We don't need to have the same complex visual, any level of sensing device". In response to those theoretical unsatisfactory, he believes that people will give up unrealistic pursuits, and no longer need to design Robot in unrestricted humanized standards. He said: "Biology can analyze the human body like a complex device, and our research field also treat people as a machine, as a automatic device, it is very dangerous. Expression said that the other side of the person, it is rich Sex is not that behavioralism is not. "
