Definition
GOLOG is a logic-based programming language used primarily in artificial intelligence for planning and acting in dynamic environments. Built upon Reiter’s situation calculus, it allows developers to specify complex sequences of actions and high-level goals that are then compiled into executable low-level commands. It is particularly useful in robotics and automated systems where precise reasoning about action effects, preconditions, and frame problems is required to ensure correct behavior in changing contexts.
