Abstract

Technical perception systems exhibit essential differences in comparison with human perception systems. Technical perception systems comprise geometry, numbers, and images. But humans can define only a very small portion of space by means of technically abstract values. Far more important are topologies of personal meanings rooted in cultural meanings. This leads to several problems. Humanoid robots are endowed with complex technical perception systems, unfolding a paradox: They are being developed for the most intimate areas of human existence, but they cannot participate in the human sphere of perception. Therefore, we have developed an approach that connects robotic and human perception systems. Humanoid robots are then understood as “companions”. The object of our approach is to develop a cultural model of space, involving robots, AI, and humans within the same context of meaning.
