Abstract

Metacognition is a powerful tool that can play machine learning and commonsense reasoning off one another synergistically. Based on our previous work in metacognition, we present the vision of a long-term project called "Robot in a Room" in this paper. Similar to newborn babies trying to learn about themselves, surroundings and things that they are able to do, this new project involves a mobile robot that does not know about its environment and its own capabilities i.e. it does not start with a robust self-model. However, it has a primary goal: to learn about itself and explore its environment (the room it lives in).
