Abstract :
Project ARS (artificial recognition system) researches the future possibilities for building automation using bionic approaches. It focuses on the combination of bottom-up data processing systems with decision making inspired by modern psychoanalysis. We define a model based on a symbol processing unit and a decision unit implementing Sigmund Freud´s ego-superego-id personality model, emotions and drives. This paper describes the basic principles of decision making and the complete connection down to sensors level, it shows some of the challenges in the process and first steps of implementing a prototype system
