A Behavioral State Vocabulary in Sony ERS-111 R-CODE

arXiv:2607.12115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a corpus-level analysis of generated behavior diagrams derived from Sony's R-CODE sample distribution for the ERS-111 AIBO. Rather than reading each script in isolation, the study compares named states across the corpus to identify the recurring control vocabulary that structures the sample set.

Overview

arXiv:2607.12115v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a corpus-level analysis of generated behavior diagrams derived from Sony's R-CODE sample distribution for the ERS-111 AIBO. Rather than reading each script in isolation, the study compares named states across the corpus to identify the recurring control vocabulary that structures the sample set. The resulting aggregate shows that many superficially different routines are built from a compact embodied grammar centered on initialization, sensing, iterative action, synchronization, and recovery. In addition to historical analysis, the paper argues that this form of state-based abstraction is useful as an intermediate representation for constructing new encapsulated behavior routines, especially on constrained native robotic systems where deterministic control, direct hardware access, and modular behavioral composition remain important.
