Abstract
Cognitive robots are augmenting their autonomy, enabling them to deployments in increasingly open-ended environments. This offers
enormous possibilities for improvements in human economy and wellbeing. However, it also poses strong risks that are difficult to assess
and control by humans. The trend towards increased autonomy conveys augmented problems concerning reliability, resilience, and trust
for autonomous robots in open worlds. The essence of the problem can be traced to robots suffering from a lack of understanding of what
is going on and a lack of awareness of their role in it. This is a problem that artificial intelligence approaches based on machine learning
are not addressing well. Autonomous robots do not fully understand their open environments, their complex missions, their intricate
realizations, and the unexpected events that affect their performance. An improvement in the capability to understand of autonomous
robots is needed. This project tries to provide a solution to this need in the form of 1) a theory of understanding, 2) a theory of awareness,
3) reusable software assets to apply these theories in real robots, and 4) three demonstrations of its capability to a) augment resilience
of drone teams, b) augment flexibility of manufacturing robots, and c) augment human alignment of social robots. In summary, we will
develop a cognitive architecture for autonomous robots based on a formal concept of understanding, supporting value-oriented situation
understanding and self-awareness to improve robot flexibility, resilience and explainability. (Objectives)
