We demonstrate (1) the use of structural regularities for acting efficiently, and (2) the use of physical regularities for designing effective sensors. These ideas are described in the context of an everyday task: grocery store shopping. We discuss how SHOPPER, a program, uses regularities of grocery stores in order to act appropriately and sense efficiently in GROCERYWORLD, a simulated grocery store.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/61","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/0061.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/61.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/bibtex/61","volume":{"slug":"1995","title":"Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1995","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/","year":1995,"location":"Montréal, Québec, Canada","dates":"","editors":"Chris S.
