This reference manual assumes familiarity with rule programming languages, and particularly logic and functional programming languages. It also assumes familiarity with polymorphic type systems with a sub-type hierarchy and runtime time type checking for sub-type values. Some familiarity with the concepts of communicating agent processes, as a generalisation of concurrent object oriented programming, is also assumed, as is the concept of multi-threaded programming. Finally, familiarity with the concept of a reasoning robotic agent engaged in reactive but goal directed external robotic device control, will be useful. In such an agent the next appropriate robotic device actions to achieve some task goal - some desired state of the robotic devices and their environment - are decided by speedy but logical querying of frequently changing percept facts, each time the facts are updated. Percept facts record task related interpretations of data from external sensors. They constitute the agent’s current perceptual beliefs and are queried using logically expressed knowledge. The sensors are often attached to or embedded in the robotic devices.
