Decoupling what, how, and when for observing decision-making context in autonomous robots

This paper presents an approach that decouples what to observe, how to observe it, and when observations are required for decision-making in autonomous robots. Situation awareness is essential for efficient and reliable autonomous robot operation, but despite advances toward parallelizing perception and action, key challenges remain in making perception aware of the current context and ensuring observability during action execution. To address this, we explicitly model the decision-making contex
