Abstract
This chapter introduces a formalism for describing the interaction between a situated robot and its environment In addition to defining that interaction and, most importantly, perception and action formally, we discuss similarities and differences between this formal model and other models prevalent in the robotics, motion-planning and finite automaton communities.
Section 2.1 describes our view of the relationship of a situated robot’s sensors and effectors to the environment. Section 2.2 presents definitions of perception and action as well as secondary definitions for certain classes of situated robots. Finally, Section 2.3 compares our approach to other conventional approaches.
