This paper outlines a unified formalism for describing and relating the various functions of a robot operating in such an environment. After exploring the distinction between the external world and the robot's internal mod el of it, and the distincti on between actions that interact with the world and the rob o t's descriptions of those actions, we formalize the concepts of a plan and of its execution. Current developments at Stanford Research Institute, and the benchmark idea of an \"ultimate\" rational rob ot, are both analyzed in this framework.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1971/34","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1971/0034.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1971/34.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1971/bibtex/34","volume":{"slug":"1971","title":"Proceedings of the Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1971","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1971/","year":1971,"location":"London, UK","dates":"","editors":"D.C.
