• Abstract summary: We describe conceptual and technical characteristics such a memory system has to fulfill, together with the underlying data representation. We extend our robot software framework ArmarX into a unified cognitive architecture that is used in robots of the ARMAR humanoid robot family. We show how the memory is used by the robots to implement memory-driven behaviors.

• Abstract: We consider the memory system as a key component of any technical cognitive system that can play a central role in bridging the gap between high-level symbolic discrete representations used for reasoning, planning and semantic scene understanding and low-level sensorimotor continuous representations used for control. In this work we described conceptual and technical characteristics such a memory system has to fulfill, together with the underlying data representation. We identify these characteristics based on the experience we gained in developing our ARMAR humanoid robot systems and discuss practical examples that demonstrate what a memory system of a humanoid robot performing tasks in human-centered environments should support, such as multi-modality, introspectability, hetero associativity, predictability or an inherently episodic structure. Based on these characteristics, we extended our robot software framework ArmarX into a unified cognitive architecture that is used in robots of the ARMAR humanoid robot family. Further, we describe, how the development of robot software led us to this novel memory-enabled cognitive architecture and we show how the memory is used by the robots to implement memory-driven behaviors.

  Body Transformer (BoT) is an architecture that leverages the robot embodiment by providing an inductive bias that guides the learning process. We represent the robot body as a graph of sensors and actuators, and rely on masked attention to pool information throughout the architecture. The resulting architecture outperforms the vanilla transformer, as well as the classical multilayer perceptron, in terms of task completion, scaling properties, and computational efficiency.

  We describe our approach to developing an intelligent and robust social robotic system for the Nadine platform. We achieve this by integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and skilfully leveraging the powerful reasoning and instruction-following capabilities of these types of models. This approach is novel compared to the current state-of-the-art LLM-based agents which do not implement human-like long-term memory or sophisticated emotional appraisal.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.
