Abstract: In this paper we give a formal characterization of reactive control using action theories. In the process we formalize the notion of a reactive control program being correct with respect to a given goal, a set of initial states, and action theories about the agent/robot and about the exogenous actions. We give sufficiency conditions that guarantee correctness and use it to give an automatic method for constructing provenly correct control modules. We then extend our approach to action... (Update)

Context of citations to this paper:   More

.... is based on the idea of representing the world by sentences of formal logic and reasoning about it by manipulating those sentences [12, 1]. Most of these formalizations define an entailment relationship (j= between the specifications (of effects of actions and relation among...

.... have proposed to substitute planning with more lightweighted reasoning techniques, like behaviours ( 9] 8] policies ( 3] 4] 10] [2]) and others. The drawback of these solutions is that, while they solve the problem of a timely interaction with the environment, they pose...
