Abstract
World Model is a key component of any intelligent
machine. The modeling system must be able to ade-
quately model the complexity of objects in the environ-
ment and it must contain enough structure to allow
the low level sensory data to map to the model dur-
ing the robot operations. The world model builds its
representation of the environment based on the data
returned by the sensory system of the robot. However,
the environment is not static and cannot always be
constrained. There is much uncertainty in the world.
The representation needs to be able to deal with the
uncertainties and update its internal structures. This
paper evaluates several world models suitable for mo-
