  • Publication number: 20200257954
    Abstract: A system for determining autonomous actions of a digital persona includes a desire subsystem configured to identify a desire of the digital persona based upon a priority value of the desire determined using a state of the digital persona, and an intent subsystem configured to select a subset of intents with outcomes that are predicted to reduce the priority value of the desire. The system also includes a goal-setting subsystem configured to map the subset of intents to one or more goals with outcomes matching the outcomes of the subset of intents, a planning subsystem configured to determine a set of plan elements for achieving the one or more goals, an action subsystem configured to initiate or perform the set of plan elements, and a sensory subsystem configured to receive feedback and update the state associated with the digital persona.
