Here are some links to to resources that are relevant to my course on Artificial Cognitive Systems on my main website.

Videos

• Elizabeth Spelke's talk on Core Knowledge of Number and Geometry at the inaugural meeting of euCognition in 2006
  

Research Challenges

• Social Cognition for Human-Robot Symbiosis—Challenges and Building Blocks

Surveys

• Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures Society (BICA) comparison of 25 cognitive architectures

Definitions of Cognition

• Over 40 Definitions of Cognition (it has proved difficult to define cognition and some argue that it isn't worth trying).
• A definition of a cognitive system from the Springer Reference Guide to Computer Vision.

White Papers

• Computing, cognition and the future of knowing John Kelly, Senior Vice President, IBM Research and Solutions Portfolio.
• Action selection for Intelligent Systems, Cyril Brom, Charles University, Prague, and Joanna Bryson, University of Bath, UK.

Tutorials and Resources

• Tutorial on Embodiment: a wide-ranging summary of the main aspects of this discipline, from cognitivist AI right through to embodied emergent cognition, by Matej Hoffmann, Dorit Assaf, and Rolf Pfeifer at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Department of Informatics, University of Zurich
• Books and articles related to embodiment
• Situated / Embedded / Extended Cognition Resources: material provided by William Rapaport, University at Buffalo - State University of New York, for a course on cognitive science.
• Tutorial on Autpoiesis, Autonomy, and Enactive Cognitive Science by Randall Whittaker
• Teaching Material for the ACT-R Cognitive Architecture by William G. Kennedy

Journals

• IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems
• Cognitive Systems Research
• Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures
• Constructivist Foundations
• Computational Cognitive Neuroscience

Books

Cognitive Architectures by M. Ferreira, J. Sequeira, and R. Ventura (Eds.)

Research Networks and Societies

• TC-CORO: IEEE Technical Committee on Cognitive Robotics
• euCognition: European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems. This network was the first in a series of three networks, culminating in EUCog below.
• EUCog: European Society for Cognitive Systems
• BICA: Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures Society
• ESSCS: European Society for the Study of Cognitive Systems
