Why Cognitive Robotics Matters: Lessons from OntoAgent and LLM Deployment in HARMONIC for Safety-Critical Robot Teaming
Sanjay Oruganti, Sergei Nirenburg, Marjorie McShane +5
Deploying embodied AI agents in the physical world demands cognitive capabilities for long-horizon planning that execute reliably, deterministically, and transparently. We present…
Shapes of Cognition for Computational Cognitive Modeling
Marjorie McShane, Sergei Nirenburg, Sanjay Oruganti +1
Shapes of cognition is a new conceptual paradigm for the computational cognitive modeling of Language-Endowed Intelligent Agents (LEIAs). Shapes are remembered constellations of se…
HARMONIC: A Content-Centric Cognitive Robotic Architecture
Sanjay Oruganti, Sergei Nirenburg, Marjorie McShane +6
This paper introduces HARMONIC, a cognitive-robotic architecture designed for robots in human-robotic teams. HARMONIC supports semantic perception interpretation, human-like decisi…
HARMONIC: Cognitive and Control Collaboration in Human-Robotic Teams
Sanjay Oruganti, Sergei Nirenburg, Marjorie McShane +7
This paper describes HARMONIC, a cognitive-robotic architecture that integrates the OntoAgent cognitive framework with general-purpose robot control systems applied to human-robot…
Metacognition in Content-Centric Computational Cognitive C4 Modeling
Sergei Nirenburg, Marjorie McShane, Sanjay Oruganti
For AI agents to emulate human behavior, they must be able to perceive, meaningfully interpret, store, and use large amounts of information about the world, themselves, and other a…
