ABSTRACT:
A controller for directing the actions of an autonomous device in response to the existence or actions of objects in the physical world comprises program means for fusing physical world data and inferred property confidence factors into a plurality of representational instances, at least one representational instance having an inferred behavior interface property for soliciting a response of the autonomous device, program means stored in a random access memory for implementing a plurality of independent behavior instances for carrying out response tasks, program means stored in the random access memory for implementing a mission control task by generating a task list of behavior instances to be performed and program means stored in the random access memory for implementing an execution engine for executing the behavior instance at the head of the task list.
