ABSTRACT

Cognitive robotics is an interdisciplinary field focused on endowing robots with cognitive capabilities, enabling adaptive and rational behavior in human environments. This paper explores the intersection of cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction (HRI), delving into key concepts, theories, and technologies that drive these fields. The discussion spans the historical evolution of HRI, foundational components, cognitive architectures, and the significance of social and emotional intelligence in robots. Future challenges and research directions are also addressed, emphasizing the need for more naturalistic and human-like interactions. This comprehensive analysis aims to provide a deeper understanding of cognitive robotics and its implications for developing effective and ethical HRI systems.

Keywords: Cognitive Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Cognitive Architectures, Adaptive Behavior, Social Intelligence.
