Plan

We have integrated the OpenCog-based GHOST tool with HEAD, the main control system for Sophia the humanoid robot. This integrated system is currently being used for research and 18 development in our offices, social robotics research trials, and some of our public events.

We are currently researching adding novel, goal-directed structures to the rule base to allow for the compositional design of skills and freeform dialogue. Also,we are improving the architecture by developing strategies for unit-testing both individual abilities and the entire architecture throughout the development process.

Our next steps are about replacing more and more of the rule-based structures with deeper cognitive understanding using our unsupervised language learning initiatives, PLN, ECAN, and other components of OpenCog and Osiris. We are also integrating more and more services hosted on Osiris in this project.
