A Note on Continuous Self-Identification as Self-Awareness: An Example of Robot Navigation

Abstract

This note reports on interdisciplinary approaches to model consciousness, an aspect of self-awareness in particular, aiming at artificial consciousness that can be mounted on an autonomous and mobile robot. For self-awareness to emerge, the self-identification process plays an important role. Self-awareness would emerge when self-locating in a self-created map in robot navigation; when solving self-related problems in (a self-related version of) the frame problem; and when a singularity arises in mapping the reference point in mathematical mappings.
