Quantum Robotics, Neural Networks and the Quantum Force Interpretation
A future quantum technological infrastructure demands the development of quantum cyber-physical-cognitive systems, merging quantum artificial intelligence, quantum robotics and quantum information and communication technologies. To support such a development, the current work introduces a new interpretation of quantum mechanics, grounded on a link between quantum computer science, systems science and field-based computation. This new interpretation is applied to quantum artificial neural networks, with examples implemented experimentally on IBM's five qubit transmon bowtie chip, accessed via cloud using IBM Q Experience, illustrating how quantum neural computing can be implemented on actual quantum computers. A new form of quantum neural machine learning, based on a quantum optimization of a conditional utility function is also introduced and applied to quantum robotics, where a quantum robot, characterized by an interface and a multilayer quantum artificial neural network, interacts with a quantum target, changing the target's dynamics adaptively, based upon the quantum optimization dynamics, computing the optima for a performance measure and changing the target's dynamics accordingly.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
What is Computational Intelligence and where is it going?
What is Computational Intelligence (CI) and what are its relations with Artificial Intelligence (AI)? A brief survey of the scope of CI journals and books with ``computational intelligence'' in their title shows that at present it is an umbrella for three core technologies (neural, fuzzy and evolutionary), their applications, and selected fashionable pattern recognition methods. At present CI has no comprehensive foundations and is more a bag of tricks than a solid branch of science. The change of focus from methods to challenging problems is advocated, with CI defined as a part of computer and engineering sciences devoted to solution of non-algoritmizable problems. In this view AI is a part of CI focused on problems related to higher cognitive functions, while the rest of the CI community works on problems related to perception and control, or lower cognitive functions. Grand challenges on both sides of this spectrum are addressed

Neurons and symbols: a manifesto
We discuss the purpose of neural-symbolic integration including its principles, mechanisms and applications. We outline a cognitive computational model for neural-symbolic integration, position the model in the broader context of multi-agent systems, machine learning and automated reasoning, and list some of the challenges for the area of
neural-symbolic computation to achieve the promise of effective integration of robust learning and expressive reasoning under uncertainty
Born to learn: The inspiration, progress, and future of evolved plastic artificial neural networks
Biological plastic neural networks are systems of extraordinary computational
capabilities shaped by evolution, development, and lifetime learning. The
interplay of these elements leads to the emergence of adaptive behavior and
intelligence. Inspired by such intricate natural phenomena, Evolved Plastic
Artificial Neural Networks (EPANNs) use simulated evolution in-silico to breed
plastic neural networks with a large variety of dynamics, architectures, and
plasticity rules: these artificial systems are composed of inputs, outputs, and
plastic components that change in response to experiences in an environment.
These systems may autonomously discover novel adaptive algorithms, and lead to
hypotheses on the emergence of biological adaptation. EPANNs have seen
considerable progress over the last two decades. Current scientific and
technological advances in artificial neural networks are now setting the
conditions for radically new approaches and results. In particular, the
limitations of hand-designed networks could be overcome by more flexible and
innovative solutions. This paper brings together a variety of inspiring ideas
that define the field of EPANNs. The main methods and results are reviewed.
Finally, new opportunities and developments are presented
