Cognitive Robotics: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Embodied Intelligence for Advanced Problem Solving

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and embodied intelligence are combined in cognitive robotics, which marks a paradigm change in highly developed problem-solving skills. This study offers a comprehensive review of the theoretical underpinnings, practical difficulties, practical applications, and moral implications of cognitive robots. The study explores machine learning methods, natural language processing tools, and computer vision technologies after introducing the fundamental concepts. It clarifies embodied intelligence further by emphasizing the important roles that sensory data fusion, robotic actuation, and adaptive behaviours play in the cognitive capabilities of robots. The study then moves on to discuss cognitive robotics' integration difficulties, including issues in sensory data fusion, cognitive dissonance in AI-driven robotics, and human-robot interaction. Applications in autonomous cars, healthcare, manufacturing, and assistive technologies demonstrate how cognitive robotics is transforming many different industries. The ethical obligations involved in the creation and use of cognitive robotic systems are highlighted, along with ethical issues relating to employment, privacy, and ethical AI practises. In-depth analysis is done of the present and foreseeable difficulties in cognitive robotics. Along with cognitive difficulties like contextual comprehension and moral conundrums, technical obstacles linked to sensor limits and processing restrictions are also studied. The study highlights cutting-edge research projects and multidisciplinary partnerships that provide answers to these problems, paving the path for the development of cognitive robots in the future. The article envisions a future where cognitive robots would play a part in space exploration, disaster response, and personalised robotics. It also surveys integration possibilities with cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality and the Internet of Things. The study summarises the key findings and presents the implications for future research, and emphasises the important part cognitive robotics plays in resolving difficult issues. To ensure that cognitive robots continue to have an impact on a future that is smarter, more connected, and understanding, ethical issues, multidisciplinary collaboration, and responsible development practises are necessary.
