·         Philosophical foundations of AI and Robotics

·         Translation of philosophical concepts into artificial cognitive architectures

·         Synergistic development of Robotics and AI

·         Formal theories of knowledge in AI and Robotics

·         Machine learning and neural networks in Robotics and AI

·         4E Cognition, AI, and Robotics
