A sign-oriented mobile robot-control system

Abstract

This paper deals with mobile robot control-system (CS) architecture from the point of view of a sign system. The approach is based on the interpretation of a sign as the symbol–denotatum–signification triad in terms of the CS semantic network. It is shown how the mechanisms for the generation and perception of phrases can be implemented within the proposed approach. An important role in communication via language between robots is the emotion mechanism. The problem of the implementation of contagious behavior is considered as an example.
