Abstract:

Building systems that integrate different artificial intelligence techniques to achieve a higher level of total intelligence is very difficult. In order to build integrated systems, simplifying assumptions or abstractions are usually made when working in a specific domain. As a result of these assumptions and abstractions, the proper evaluation of integrated artificial intelligence techniques can be quite challenging. We suggest that the domain of hide and seek is a particularly well-suited task for integrating robotics and higher-level reasoning mechanisms such as computational cognitive modeling. Three different instantiations of integrated systems in the hide and seek domain, which combine cognitive-level algorithms with lower level algorithms for perception and navigation are discussed.
