What is a Mind?

Mars Rover - Curiosity

Each day

Rover sends sensory datasets to

NASA Images Telemetry

Batch software processes datasets Amazon Web Services

NASA scientists plan what Rover

does next NASA sends the plan to Rover

21/86

A Sample Avatar

This is Smiley.


22/86

A Sample Avatar

The Mind knows nothing aboutSmiley.


23/86

A Sample Avatar

The Mind asks Smiley What are you?

So Smiley sends its Capabilities (i.e. set ofactions):

Eat, Laugh, Belch, Cry

and Requirements (i.e. needs):

Hunger = Green

and Current Situation:

Hunger = Green,

Mood = Sad


24/86

A Sample Avatar

The Mind knows nothing else about Smiley

(and neither do we).


25/86

The Pursuit of Happiness

Now suppose Smiley wants to be happy.

So Smiley sends a Target Situation to theMind:

Mood = Happy

What should the Mind do?


26/86


First Some bookkeeping:

1. Add the Current Situation to EpisodicMemory.

2. Add the Target Situation to the Agenda.

3. Formulate Some Possible Solutions totry.


27/86


Now the Mind can try a solution to see what happens.

If one solution doesnt work, the Mind can try another.

2. Add the CurrentSituation to EpisodicMemory.

1. Add the TargetSituation to theAgenda.

3. Propose SomePossible Solutions totry.


28/86


Now attempting the Laugh action.


29/86


Smiley returned Sad, so we fail thesolution


30/86


and add this experience to our possiblesolutions.


31/86


Now attempting the Belch action.


32/86


Smiley returned Bored, so we fail thesolution.


33/86


and add this experience to our possiblesolutions.


34/86


Smiley is now Bored. In this new situation,we should propose possible solutions to try.


35/86




36/86


Smiley returned Bored, so we fail thesolution


37/86


and add this experience to the possiblesolutions.


38/86




39/86




40/86




41/86


Note that we are no longer bored, but Sad. We mustrevisit all our available solutions from the Sad

situation.


42/86


Now attempting the Cry action.


43/86




44/86




45/86


All solutions for Happy from the Sadsituation have failed.


46/86


We have not yet exhausted all solutions fromthe Bored situation,


47/86


therefore we must set a new goal, to achievethe Bored situation.


48/86




49/86


Smiley returned Bored. So we mark theaction as successful,


50/86


and we also mark its goal as achieved.


51/86




52/86


Smiley returned Excited, so we fail thesolution


53/86




54/86


In this new state we should propose newsolutions to try.


55/86




56/86


Smiley returned Bored, so we fail thesolution


57/86




58/86


Smiley is Bored, and weve already tried allsolutions for happiness from this situation.


59/86


So we must set a goal to explore solutionswe have not yet tried.


60/86


Now attempting the Cry action (to returnSmiley to the Excited situation).


61/86


Smiley returns Excited (as we expected). Sowe mark the solution as successful,


62/86


and we update the goal.


63/86




64/86


Smiley returned Excited. So we fail thesolution


65/86


.and add this experience to the possiblesolutions.


66/86




67/86


Smiley returns Happy. We update the solution withSuccess, we update the Goal, and were done. Whew!!


68/86


Smiley is Happy.

Now Its Your Turn

The Mind Game

Teams:

Avatars, Messengers, Minds

Rules:1. Avatar team creates an avatar.

2. Minds team receives avatar definition.

3. Minds team send actions to Avatar team.

4. Avatar teams replies with new states.5. Game ends when

6. Target situation achieved, or

7. A timer reaches zero, or

8. Cries for help exceed the limit


73/86

Play a Game

Avatar team creates an avatar:

1. Define attributes, actions, behaviors (Team)

2. Send to Mind team:

3. initial, target situations

4. actions

5. (keep other attributes secret)

6. Repeats the following until game ends:

7. Receive actions & compute next situation (Actuator)

8. Sends Need Status (Monitor)

9. Forwards all Messages (Sensor)


74/86

Play a game

Mind team forms models the avatar:

1. Receive avatar definition

2. Actions

3. Initial situation4. Target situation

5. Needs

6. Repeats the following until game ends:7. Updates events in Episodic Memory (Perceiver)

8. Creates Solutions and Goals (Solver)

9. Sends action from best solution (Executor)


75/86

Play a game

Messenger team communicates:

1. Delivers messages reliably

Other game variations

2. Can deliver messages out of order

3. Can delay messages4. Can drop messages

Lets play.
