Abstract. We describe a uniform technique for representing both sensory data and the attentional state of an agent using a subset of modal logic with indexicals. The resulting representation maps naturally into feed-forward parallel networks or can be implemented on stock hardware using bit-mask instructions. The representation has \circuit-semantics " [34, 32], but can e ciently represent propositions containing modals, unary predicates, and functions. We describe an example using Kludge, a vision-based mobile robot programmed to perform simple natural language instructions involving fetching and following tasks. 1., |
