Attempts to create machines that behave intelligently often conceptualize intelligence as the ability to achieve goals, leaving unanswered a crucial question: whose goals? In a dynamic and unpredictable world, an intelligent agent should hold its own meta-goal of self-preservation, like living organisms whose survival relies on homeostasis: the regulation of body states aimed at maintaining conditions compatible with life. In organisms capable of mental states, feelings are a mental expression of the state of life in the body and play a critical role in regulating behaviour. Our goal here is to inquire about conditions that would potentially allow machines to care about what they do or think. Under certain conditions, machines capable of implementing a process resembling homeostasis might also acquire a source of motivation and a new means to evaluate behaviour, akin to that of feelings in living organisms. Drawing on recent developments in soft robotics and multisensory abstraction, we propose a new class of machines inspired by the principles of homeostasis. The resulting machines would (1) exhibit equivalents to feeling; (2) improve their functionality across a range of environments; and (3) constitute a platform for investigating consciousness, intelligence and the feeling process itself.

感觉机器设计中的动态平衡和软机器人

尝试创建表现出智能行为的机器通常将智能概念化为实现目标的能力,而未回答一个关键问题:谁的目标?在一个充满动荡和不可预测的世界中,聪明的代理人应该拥有自己的自我保存的元目标,就像其生存依赖于稳态的生物一样:调节身体状态以维持与生命相适应的状态。在具有精神状态的生物中,感觉是体内生命状态的一种心理表达,在调节行为中起着至关重要的作用。我们的目标是查询可能使机器关心其行为或想法的条件。在某些情况下,能够执行类似于动态平衡过程的机器也可能会获得动力来源和评估行为的新方法,类似于生命有机体的感觉。借鉴软机器人技术和多传感器抽象的最新发展,我们提出了一种受动态平衡原理启发的新型机器。最终的机器将(1)表现出与感觉相当的效果;(2)在各种环境中改善其功能;(3)构成一个研究意识,智力和感觉过程本身的平台。最终的机器将(1)表现出与感觉相当的效果;(2)在各种环境中改善其功能;(3)构成一个研究意识,智力和感觉过程本身的平台。最终的机器将(1)表现出与感觉相当的效果;(2)在各种环境中改善其功能;(3)构成一个研究意识,智力和感觉过程本身的平台。
