Shakey and the sense-model-plan-act cycle

Shakey’s design mirrors the traditional view that an agent should be decomposed into four functional components. This model revolves around the sense-model-plan-act cycle. First, the agent senses the world. Then a model of the world is constructed on the basis of the sensory inputs. Using this model, a plan can then be constructed to guide how the agent will carry out actions in the world.
