Advanced training for A.s.a. H.

Any artificially intelligent robot should be trained to feed itself, perhaps by finding a charging station and hooking up to it or perhaps by finding a brightly lit space and charging its solar batteries. A robot should also be made to discover those things that cause it pain and damage it, things like high speed collisions. Other common tasks are things like finding its way through a maze and stacking blocks. But what more complex environments, situations, and tasks should be attempted after these? Perhaps the 36 dramatic situations? (See, for example, The Thirty-six Dramatic Situations, Georges Polti, The Editor Co., 1917)

A.s.a. H. has already experienced several of the dramatic situations. The search for a recharge, whether innate or learned, would be an example of the situation  "Obtaining. Effort to obtain an object." Exploring far from the charging station might be an example of  "Daring enterprise. Adventurous expedition." The breakage of a mechanical arm while lifting would be an example of the situation "Disaster. A natural catastrophe." A multiagent system involving competition might be an example of  "Rivalry of kinsmen."

A multiagent system involving cooperation might entail "Self-sacrifice for kindred." or even "Life sacrificed to a cause." or "Deliverance. Rescue by friends."
