Symbolic Perception in Homer
Symbolic Perception in Homer
Homer operates within a simulated
environment and requires perfect sensing. Homer is intended to
emphasize higher cognitive-level functions and avoid issues associated
with real perception. The agent's symbolic perception system is
coupled to the simulated environment and runs approximately every two
seconds. The agent maintains a perception sector 120 degrees wide and
150 feet in depth, allowing it to "see" anything that enters this
area. Once an object is seen, Homer immediately knows the object's
type, location, orientation, dimensions, color, and velocity and
whether or not it has seen the object before. For enhanced reality,
the agent operates with incomplete
knowledge, objects can occlude one another or fall out of its
window of perception.
