Abstract

This paper is dedicated with affection to Jan Peleska on the occasion of his 65th birthday. We discuss a unifying theory of uncertainty in robotics based on Hoare & He’s unifying theories of programming and Hehner’s probabilistic predicative programming. We start a long-term research agenda with a semantics for Prism and end with many questions.
