“…The basics of the current article are introduced by Deutsch [10] using a top-down design approach to model the human mind by using the psychoanalytical theory and transferring it into a technical model. The model was the reason for founding an international forum that is discussed and depicted in detail in [11].…”

Abstract-The complexity of technical systems is constantly increasing. To manage the amount of data several strategies have been followed and a lot of achievements were made especially in artificial intelligence. But still the capabilities of human intelligence are unrivaled. The contribution of this article is an introduction to a decision unit based on psychoanalytical models and a description how the findings can be used in future robotic applications. The neuro-psychoanalytical theories used, cover a comprehensive model of human intelligence and presents structures for all aspects of human decision making. The psychoanalytic-inspired decision unit shows promising prospects that standard planning and control units lack in various respects. Amongst others, scenario and experience-based planning, drivebased intention models, and the 3-tier (neuro-symbolic, thing presentations, word presentations) data processing architecture, are very promising methods. In order to validate the model, a simulation environment was implemented holding various agents with the neuro-psychoanalytical decision unit. This first implementation shows the possibilities of the system and gives a great outlook for future investigations of the capabilities.

Abstract-Modern intelligent control systems for building automation, ambient living or surveillance control have to deal with upcoming requirements like increasing complexity of sensor data, or supporting human beings at their jobs. Therefore the system has to decide on actions taken in case of unforeseen situations. The most complex as well as effective decision making unit that is known, is represented by the human mind. Therefore it seems to be feasible to emulate the human mind in order to design a system for approximating its abilities. While in current Artificial Intelligence a number of generally accepted models, which rely on psychological or neurological theory, are known this paper will introduce a different approach. As a result of the interdisciplinary work of engineers and psychoanalysts a functional model of the human mind has been designed on the base of psychoanalytical theory. As result this work describes the first version of this model in detail and gives an overview on the psychoanalytical theory it relies on.

Abstract-The present work addresses the demand of context-and situation-aware environments in computational areas. A concept is introduced, using emotional validation for the perception and decision making unit of a technical system. Giving a detailed definition of the used neuro-psychoanalytical concepts, a possible implementation within such a system is introduced. The advantage in fast reactions by basic emotional valuation and a possibility of social interaction by the use of complex emotions has been outlined.
