Goals of The Cog Project
- To design and fabricate a humanoid face for each robot that fosters suitable social contact between robots and humans.
- To create a robot which is capable of interacting with humans and objects in a human-like way.
- To develop a relatively general system by which Cog can learn causal relations between commands to its motors and input from its sensors (primarily vision and mechanical proprioception).
- To shift the robot aesthetic to a design language that utilizes strong curvilinear and organic forms through state of the art design processes and materials.
