Abstract

Knowledge from human science and contribution from both robotics and cognitive science, is a prerequisite for developing a humanlike robot, an android. This new interdisciplinary framework between engineering and cognitive science is called android science and has several research issues. The issues in robotics are to develop a humanlike appearance using silicon, humanlike movement, and humanlike perception by integrating ubiquitous sensor systems. The issue in cognitive science, include conscious and subconscious recognition. Cognitive robotics aims at modeling human-level cognitive faculties in robots. Robots should greatly profit from taking inspiration from human cognitive ability to reflect on human acts. The focus of cognitive robotics is on the developing abilities to represent and reason about knowledge to make rational decisions, devise complex plans, react sensibly to unforeseen circumstances and problems, and adapt to new environments.
