Sharing world model objects between multiple autonomous systems

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer of an autonomous system, cause the computer to:

• operate a controllable physical device of the autonomous system to perform a task based on executable code derived from objects in a world model of the autonomous system, wherein the world model of the autonomous system comprises a plurality of world model objects that represent a state of an operating environment of the autonomous system,
• determine an initiation trigger when the autonomous system is to begin interaction with a peer autonomous system, the peer autonomous system being operated based on executable code derived from objects in a world model of the peer autonomous system, which comprises a plurality of world model objects that represent a state of an operating environment of the peer autonomous system,
• responsive to the initiation trigger, initiate data communication between the autonomous system and the peer autonomous system, wherein the data communication comprises sharing of the world model objects between the autonomous system and the peer autonomous system, and
• continue operating controllable physical device based on an extended world model of the autonomous system that includes the shared world model objects of the peer autonomous system.

An autonomous system comprising:

• a controllable physical device;
• and
• a computer comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computer to:
• operate the controllable physical device to perform a task based on executable code derived from objects in a world model of the autonomous system, wherein the world model of the autonomous system comprises a plurality of world model objects that represent a state of an operating environment of the autonomous system,
• determine an initiation trigger when the autonomous system is to begin interaction with a peer autonomous system, the peer autonomous system being operated based on executable code derived from objects in a world model of the peer autonomous system, which comprises a plurality of world model objects that represent a state of an operating environment of the peer autonomous system,
• responsive to the initiation trigger, initiate data communication between the autonomous system and the peer autonomous system, wherein the data communication comprises sharing of the world model objects between the autonomous system and the peer autonomous system, and
• continue operating the controllable physical device based on an extended world model of the autonomous system that includes the shared world model objects of the peer autonomous system.
