Abstract

In this paper, reasoning by a robot relates to commands it receives in the natural language. The statements supplied by the master are considered to be incompletely stated arguments, i.e., enthymemes. An attempt is made by the robot to provide missing premises or conclusions to produce valid arguments. This is done on the basis of the inference rule, disjunctive syllogism. The analysis utilizes, in part, the results of work covering correct reasoning by robots based on the two inference rules of modus ponens and modus tollens [1]. The robot seeks out missing premises or conclusions from its knowledge structures for obeying commands and from the environment through its sensors. In the final analysis, the paper establishes composite plausible commands as enthymemes that can be supplied by the master and corresponding missing premises or conclusions that the robot must seek out in an attempt to achieve a primary goal.
