Goal reasoning has focused on the former set of cognitive abilities, and automated planning on the latter. Despite the existence of robots that possess both capabilities, we lack a general understanding of how to combine goal generation and goal achievement. In my work I introduce the notion of equilibrium maintenance as a contribution to this understanding. Formal evidence is provided that equilibrium maintenance is conducive to proactive robots, and I demonstrate my approach in a closed loop with a real robot in a smart home.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/571","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/0571.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/571.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/bibtex/571","volume":{"slug":"2016","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Fifth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2016","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2016/","year":2016,"location":"New York, NY, USA","dates":"9–15 July 2016","editors":"Subbarao Kambhampati","isbn":"978-1-57735-770-4; 978-1-57735-771-1","publisher":"AAAI Press / International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":571,"pages":{"first":3994,"last":3994},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
