RoboBrain: A software architecture for mapping the human brain
The document discusses Robobrain, a software architecture that mimics human brain functionalities to enable robots to operate autonomously in various environments. It outlines the proposed modules based on different brain lobes, focusing on components for decision making, memory processing, and sensory integration. The project aims to establish an open-source community for collaboration and is seeking funding and partners for further development.

- 1. RoboBrain: A SoftwareArchitecture Mapping the Human Brain Ilias Trochidis Ortelio Ltd, UK Adamantios Koumpis University of Passau, Germany Laurentiu Vasiliu Peracton Ltd, Ireland Christoph Bussler Tropo Inc, USA
- 2. When do wefirst hear about robots and robot brain? In Book 18 of the Iliad, Hephaestus the god of all mechanical arts, was assisted by two moving female statues made from gold – "living young damsels, filled with minds and wisdoms".
- 3. What happened untilnow? Optimus Prime (1993) Johnny 5 (1986) Wall-E (2008) The Terminator (1984)R2-D2 (1977) C-3PO (1977) RoboCop (1987) Robo-servant NDR-114 (1999) Rodney and Feder (2005) We have seen many “clever” robots in……. …..cinemas.
- 4. What happened inreality? • There are a lot of robotic platforms available: – For research/education – For fun – For commercial purposes • However, intelligent autonomous robots still remains a science fiction.
- 5. Why? There are effortsthat try to solve a specific problem such as vision, decision making, speech, motion etc. There are efforts that try to provide a complete simulation of the Human brain (e.g. Blue Brain Project, Human Brain Project).
- 6. @ the RoboBrainlab We develop the RoboBrain Architecture
- 7. @ the RoboBrainlab It is a component based software architecture that: •Maps the main functions of the human brain. •Allows components to be plugged in. •Can be installed on any Humanoid robot. RoboBrain is a software developer’s view of how a robot brain should work. We build the first robotic software brain architecture that emulates human brain functionality!

Editor's Notes
- #3 The Ancient Greeks were clearly obsessed with the notion of creating mechanical living beings. We do know that they had very advanced engineering skills and most certainly managed to make partially animated Statues which would be used in Ceremonies. They were probable worked by levers and human powered, although there are descriptions of using steam and water as a source of power. The Greeks certainly had the technology and ingenuity to have used steam powered devises. Descriptions of wonderful mechanical people and objects not only came out of mythology but also other cultures from around the world. There seems to have been a common ambition to emulate living things through out the whole of the ancient world. The following is a description of some of the more intriguing ones.
- #8 The architecture supports the dynamic addition, removal and change of components in order to support the evolving needs of the overall system.
