Creating and reasoning over scene descriptions in a physically realistic simulation
Nick Marton, John Licato, Selmer Bringsjord · Agent-Directed Simulation · 2015
Physical awareness is typically taken as a prerequisite for human-level performance of any agent in a physical environment. To perform basic planning and navigation, such an agent must have the ability to assess, represent, and describe aspects of a physical scene, so that relevant reasoning can then be carried out. We describe our framework for this assessment-to-reasoning sequence of tasks, and show how a description of a physical scene can be obtained by an agent that only has direct access to sensory-level information about the world it inhabits (the simulation environment PAGI World), and how that agent can integrate this knowledge with an analogico-deductive reasoner (ADR).
