We present our first steps towards constructing a system that combines image schematic knowledge and reasoning with reactive robotics, and which enables perception that focuses on, and keeps track of, relevant entities and relationships. While our approach is more reasoning intensive than is usual in reactive robotics, the formalism we use for inference is fast and allows an agent to adjust, in real time, the complexity of its action selection procedures according to the complexity of the relevant part of the environment. We illustrate our approach with a few simulated examples of robots performing navigation tasks. In some examples, interaction with obstacles is necessary to complete the navigation tasks, adding complexity to the scenario.14enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/robotic action selectionnavigationcomplex environmentsimage-schematic reasoning000 Informatik, Informationswissenschaft, allgemeine Werke::000 Informatik, Wissen, SystemeText::Konferenzveröffentlichung::Tagungsband::Konferenzbeitrag10.26092/elib/4209urn:nbn:de:gbv:46-elib222410
