Subject: Robots, but philosophers
"Based on previous experiments in linking Kant's
epistemology to cognitive science and knowledge
engineering, this paper suggests a new approach to
Kant's Critique of Pure Reason rooted in cybernetics
and specifically adapted to the needs of scientists
and engineers engaged in the design and construction
of learning robots. We claim that "a priori knowledge"
- as developed by Kant - could play a major role
in a robot that needs to acquire its world model"
