# Emergent Frame Recognition and Its Use in Artificial Creatures

Luc Steels

*Proceedings of the Twelfth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 1219-1223.

## Abstract

Artificial creatures are autonomous mobile agents that have to react in real-time to sensors and plan and perform actions in the real world Current effective architectures for artificial creatures are behavior-based and use variants of the subsumption architecture. The paper proposes an extension to these architectures in terms of a layer which introduces cognitive capabilities to artificial creatures. This · extension is frame-based and uses emergent frame recognition to determine which frame should become active.
