Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling an autonomous machine includes processing sensor data streamed via a plurality of calibrated sensors by a plurality of perception modules to extract perception information from the sensor data in real time. The extracted real time perception information from the plurality of perception modules is fused by a context awareness module to create a blackboard image, which is a representation of an operating environment of the autonomous machine derived from fusion of the extracted perception information using a controlled semantic, defining a context of the autonomous machine. A stream of blackboard images, representing a time evolving context of the autonomous machine, is processed by an action evaluation module, using a control policy, to output a control action to be executed by the autonomous machine. The control policy includes a learned mapping of context to control action represented by blackboard images created using the controlled semantic.
