• Title: Distributed Adaptive Control: An ideal Cognitive Architecture candidate for managing a robotic recycling plant
• Authors: Oscar Guerrero-Rosado and Paul Verschure
• Abstract summary: This paper supports the Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC) theory as a suitable Cognitive Architecture for managing a recycling plant. Specifically, a DAC between both single-agent and large-scale levels is proposed to meet the expected demands of the European Project HR-Recycler. With the aim of having a realistic benchmark for future implementations of the DAC, a micro-recycling plant prototype is presented.

• Abstract: In the past decade, society has experienced notable growth in a variety of technological areas. However, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has not been embraced yet. Industry 4.0 imposes several challenges which include the necessity of new architectural models to tackle the uncertainty that open environments represent to cyber-physical systems (CPS). Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling plants stand for one of such open environments. Here, CPSs must work harmoniously in a changing environment, interacting with similar and not so similar CPSs, and adaptively collaborating with human workers. In this paper, we support the Distributed Adaptive Control (DAC) theory as a suitable Cognitive Architecture for managing a recycling plant. Specifically, a recursive implementation of DAC (between both single-agent and large-scale levels) is proposed to meet the expected demands of the European Project HR-Recycler. Additionally, with the aim of having a realistic benchmark for future implementations of the recursive DAC, a micro-recycling plant prototype is presented.

  generative, multi-purpose AI systems promise a unified approach to building machine learning (ML) models into technology. This ambition of generality'' comes at a steep cost to the environment, given the amount of energy these systems require and the amount of carbon that they emit. We measure deployment cost as the amount of energy and carbon required to perform 1,000 inferences on representative benchmark dataset using these models. We conclude with a discussion around the current trend of deploying multi-purpose generative ML systems, and caution that their utility should be more intentionally weighed against increased costs in terms of energy and emissions
