A Short Review of Symbol Grounding in Robotic and Intelligent Systems

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the research papers published in Symbol Grounding in the period from the beginning of the 21st century up 2012. The focus is in the use of symbol grounding for robotics and intelligent system. The review covers a number of subtopics, that include, physical symbol grounding, social symbol grounding, symbol grounding for vision systems, anchoring in robotic systems, and learning symbol grounding in software systems and robotics. This review is published in conjunction with a special issue on Symbol Grounding in the Künstliche Intelligenz Journal.
