The Next Technological Wave: Intelligence Technology for Intelligence Super Agent

Since the industrial revolution, technological evolution has been the defining aspect of societal progress. Among all the technologies that have emerged over the years, information technology is the one that truly revolutionized the modern lifestyle. To take information technology beyond information mining and communication, intelligence technology (InT) is required to manipulate the information and knowledge with human-like intelligence. However, transforming InT into the next technological wave requires a medium to actualize InT with all its potential. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an intelligence super agent (iSA) as an autonomous entity equipped with all categories of intelligence, i.e. cognitive, social, behavioral, ambient, collective, and genetic intelligences. To realize the iSA, we also present a modular architecture, named intelligence operating architecture (iOA), capable of implementing all aspects of InT along with a biologically-inspired thought process. As a novel implementation platform for the iSA, we present user-centered development of robots enacted through agent based modularization (UDREAM). The effectiveness of UDREAM is shown through some application-specific experiments with individual robots. Although the current iSA is for a limited number of services with a standalone robot, it can be extended to a more complex iSA.
