Abstract: Embodiments of a method (e.g., for operating a robotic device such as a dog device, etc.) can include: receiving one or more inputs (e.g., sensor input data, etc.) at a dog device (e.g., at one or more sensors of the dog device; a robotic dog device; etc.) from one or more users and/or other suitable entities (e.g., additional dog devices; etc.); determining one or more events (and/or a lack of one or more events), such as based on the one or more inputs (and/or a lack of one or more inputs); processing (e.g., determining, implementing, etc.) one or more scenes based on the one or more events (and/or lack of one or more events); and/or performing one or more output actions with the dog device, based on the one or more scenes (e.g., individual scenes; scene flows; etc.).
