Abstract
The authors are attempting to clarify the nature of human consciousness by creating functions similar to that phenomenon in a robot. First of all, they focused on self-aware, confirming a new hypothesis from an experiment on a robot using a neural network with the MoNAD structure which they created based on the concept of a human neural circuit. The basis of this hypothesis is that “the entity receives an anticipated response within a certain evaluation standard based on internal time.” This paper discusses the theory of awareness in robots, related experiments, this hypothesis and the prospects for the future.
