The cognitive control process
Cognitive robots are increasingly frequently and readily designed for the pur-
poses of semantic analyses, defence, improving production processes, logistics,
transport, medicine and many other fields of science and everyday life in which
mobile operation can no longer be imagined without this type of solutions.
Yet cognitive robots, seen to develop very intensely and dynamically towards
avatars - machines imitating people, their behaviour and action - still seem to
have a long way to go. This is because an artificial copy of a human cannot be
built, but it is possible to build a robot equipped with a set of features characteris-
tic for human behaviour. Consequently, the notion of an avatar seems to signifi-
cantly exceed the cognitive, design and technical capabilities, whereas the concept
of a cognitive robot fits the work on developing an artificial brain quite accurately.
