PURR-PUSS

(Purposeful Unprimed Real-world Robot with Predictors Using Short Segments)

What is PURR-PUSS?

PURR-PUSS is a theory of the brain and a design for an intelligent robot brain based on associative learning. Digital associations and multiple context avoid the well-known weaknesses of associationism and stimulus-response learning. The theory forms a bridge from neurons to symbolic processing and embraces mind-body-world interaction.
