Robot's dreams
Some pseudophilosophical gamers' thoughts come to me today. There are NPCs in a dream. Certainly. They work pretty similarly to a videogame, in terms of consciousness, etc. (Take it as a hypothesis, if you are not cool or gamer enough.) So, if we want to construct a like-human robot, we can make he/she dream, making he/she play a game, at rest, and with adaptations. She/he would always dream of/play a new game, in this case, for example. The freaking part (of course): are we AI, and are our dreams games? I don't know, and, almost, I don't care. However, to me, the important question would be: for what? What is the function of dreaming? I'm not a dream specialist, but I guess it has a learning proposal or something like that. One little deeper in the freaking part: seems some dreams are just ways to know how we will act in "real" life. There is more, of course, but this seems to be a crucial aspect of dreaming, and, in robotics, it would be useful to monitor
