(As a related note: here and there in this book, we will refer to the "current" CogPrime implementation (in the OpenCog framework); in all cases this refers to OpenCog as of late 2013.)

But the overall design has not been presented in a coherent and systematic way before this book. In order to frame this design properly, we also pr

the present work, it has also been used to control virtual agents in virtual worlds [GEA08]. Prototype work done during 2007-2008 involved using an OpenCog variant called the Open- PetBrain to control virtual dogs in a virtual world (see Figure 6.6 for a screenshot of an OpenPetBrain-controlled virtual d

level of capability will be achievable by simply interposing DeS- TIN (or some other system in its place) as a perception /action “black box” between OpenCog and a robot. Some preliminary experiments in this direction have already been carried out, con- necting the OpenPetBrain to a Nao robot using simpler

There is significant evidence that these various types of long-term memory

Often in an OpenCog context, this refers to the PLN abduction rule, a specific First-Order PLN rule (If A implies C, and B implies C, then maybe A is B), which embodies
