Self-Aware Robots: On the Path to Machine Consciousness, 2nd Edition, is a book exploring the development of artificial consciousness and self-aware robots. Written by Junichi Takeno, the volume connects artificial intelligence and robotics with cognitive and biological sciences.
The text draws on philosophy, psychology, biological evolution, physiology, and medicine, placing special emphasis on brain neuroscience and neuropsychiatry. Through these perspectives, it examines the functions of human consciousness and investigates how artificial neural networks can model them.
Building on the author's previous volume, this 2022 edition highlights progressive research in constructing small conscious systems. It features physical demonstrations in which robots successfully recognize their own images in mirrors.
