New Autonomous Systems

Introduction

In this book, we present the results of our research on the modeling and design of a software system allowing for systems with a very strong sense of autonomy with intentionality. We are operating in the context of systems built with a complex substratum, which have multiple electronic components deploying a variety of specific features. The scale of the development of these electronic systems is very important in the current technological climate, allowing the construction and use of technological components in all areas. These systems, however, still have an autonomy that is limited to the use of their functional capabilities, as is the case of automated robotic systems used in various industrial, economic and cultural fields. They require human operators to control them, as is the case for drones. The main problem involves providing these types of systems with a computing level which allows for an intentional autonomy that will drive their behaviors.

We present a complete model that gives these systems a very strong behavioral autonomy, providing them with the ability to make behavioral decisions based on desires, to have their own intentions and even to be aware of their autonomy. We will, therefore, be presenting how to give these systems the ability to intentionally generate artificial representations of things that they perceive and design, so that they behave in the way they want, of course within the limits of a common sociality. The idea is, indeed, to ...
