Abstract
Curiosity is a notion that is increasingly receiving special
attention, particularly in the context of the emerging fields
of developmental robotics. In the first part of the paper we
give a brief critical overview of the research in motivational
systems in intelligent robotics. The overall impression is
that the prevailing understanding of curiosity is rather one
dimensional and reductionist in spirit. We argue that this is
a result of rather simple agent’s representations of the
environment that are usually adopted. In the second part of
the paper we put forward some arguments towards modeling
of curiosity in context of other cognitive phenomena like
feeling of understanding, analogy-making and expectations,
integrated in a more general cognitive architecture.
