C-BDI

C-BDI implements the BDI (Beliefs/Desires/Intentions) model in the C programming language. C-BDI is a complementary product to JACK. In utilising the C language, it has the potential to be included as part of a certificated onboard system, including a sense & avoid capability.

• A BDI agent platform written in C
• Focused on autonomous and semi-autonomous, mission-critical aerospace & defence systems
• Designed for use in real-time domains
• Packaged as a set of libraries in ANSI/ISO C (C90)

For the autonomous systems development engineer:

• Allows the level of software abstraction to be raised, from procedural programming to agent-oriented programming
• Provides a more natural way to model relationships between reasoning entities
• Makes it cost-effective to introduce decision-making capability in certificated systems
  • Based on ANSI/ISO C (C90), already accepted by the aerospace industry
  • Certified compilers available
  • Runs on accepted RTOS - VxWorks, Integrity & QNX
