Abstract

Despite the great interest for externalist oriented models of the mind (enactivism, the extended mind, various forms of externalism, embodiment, embeddedness), most current artificial agents are designed as though the mind “is still in the head”. In other words, in the field of AI, the prevailing view still assumes that the relevant information is processed inside the system that provides the right kind of computation. In this paper, we outline a model of situated cognition that aims at offloading various aspects of cognition which are strongly related with conscious experience (semantics, intentionality, teleology) and then we discuss a robotic implementation which tries to show the kind of intimate agent-environment relationship that may be exploited by conscious agents.
