Perception in Subsumption

Perception in Subsumption

In keeping with the philosophy of modeling the sensing of lower animals, perception is emphasized in subsumption architectures. A subsumption-based agent receives input from all of its sensors all of the time. It can be wired so that certain inputs are inhibited; in which case it would ignore those inputs. Additionally, any particular augmented finite-state machine is typically only wired to look at some subset of the input, if any. The ability to perceive is very important to these architectures because of the philosophy that "The world is its own best model.
