This paper describes our efforts to develop a robot with a sense of self using a multiagent-based cognitive architecture and control with three distinctive memory systems, namely (1) spatio-temporal short-term memory, (2) procedural/declarative/episodic long-term memory and (3) a task-oriented adaptive working memory. Such a robot may be called a cognitive robot. Cognitive robots share a number of key features with conscious machines. We are exploring the interface between cognitive robots and machine consciousness through an internal model called the Self Agent.
