Problem Solving
Teton was proposed as a limited model of the human cognitive process
of goal reconstruction which is meant to explain the human capability
called situated
action. These effects lie on top of and effect cognition. The
model, then is a cognitive problem solver that has the capability of
goal reconstruction.
Perfect Sensing Assumed
The ability of the agent to perform columnar mathematics required the
perfect identification of the plane. This would allow the agent to
associate elements with one another based on horizontal and vertical
proximity.
The proposed test bed requires direct perceptual input but does not
venture into the analysis of robustness in the presence of perceptual
errors.
Situated
Action
One of the main reasons for building TETON was to learn about the
primitive capabilities necessary for an agent to employ both planning
and situated action.
