Methodological Assumptions
of Icarus
Icarus maintains several assumptions in its development:
- A typical physical agent achieves its goals through manipulation of other objects and navigation between locations.
- These capabilities in turn require the ability to recognize physical objects, places, and situations, to generate plans that achieve goals, to execute action sequences that implement plans, and to detect situations that call for a change in plans.
- An agent should support the ability to acquire new knowledge and to learn from its experiences.
- Sensing is an easy task (obviously they ignore the issues related, so to some extent they believe this).
- The integration of the existing components is easy; the trouble lies in implementing them in and of themselves.
