CogBot
From OpenCog
There are three distinct "bots" for OpenCog: CogBot, CogitaBot and the embodiment bot.
CogBot
The first iteration of CogBot is an interface to OpenSim for OpenCog, implemented by by Kino High Coursey (mentored by Andre Luiz de Senna) for GSoCProjects2008.
Cogita-bot
Cogita-bot is a simple question-answering IRC chatbot. It serves two purposes: to demo the OpenCog natural language processing pipeline, and to provide a foundation for question answering and concept formation research within OpenCog. When it is working (and not being worked-on) it can be found on the #opencog channel on the freenode.net IRC network. Instructions for setting up cogita-bot can be found in the source file opencog/nlp/chatbot/README. Contact Linas Vepstas for more details.
Embodiment
The embodiment work is proceeding apace, and the next version of the pet dogs will be able to understand rudimentary English, and to respond in English as well. The primary goal of the embodiment work is to demonstrate (unsupervised) learning in a 3D virtual environment, and to perform research on learning.
