Unified cognition for a virtual personal cognitive assistant when cognition is embodied across multiple embodied cognition object instances

Abstract:

Provided are techniques for unified cognition for a virtual personal cognitive assistant. A personal cognitive agent creates an association with an entity and a personalized embodied cognition manager that includes an object instance registry, wherein the object instance registry stores embodied cognition object instances. A cognitive assistant agent for a domain that is associated with the embodied cognition object instances stored in the object instance registry is provided. Input is received from the entity for a first object instance and for a second object instance of the embodied cognition object instances. Interaction is coordinated between the cognitive assistant agent, the first object instance, and the second object instance by: identifying a goal based on the input and providing the first object instance and the second object instance with instructions to meet the goal based on the input. A response is provided to the input with an indication of the goal.
