Finite State Machines: Part 1

Learn about finite state machines (FSM) using a room-cleaning robot as an example.

When I was earning my master's degree, I heard a lot about finite state machines (FSMs), but it was all theory — like clouds in the sky: there's a lot of water, but you can't drink it. I toiled for three months after graduating until I implemented my first FSM in code in 1981. Now, there is a programming methodology based on this concept — v-agent oriented programming (VAOP) — with many examples of its implementation. It's best to start learning about VAOP with this article on Medium: "Bagels and Muffins of Programming or How Easy It Is to Convert a Bagel into a Black Hole".
With VAOP, you can implement FSM in any programming language.

You are a fantastic teacher...thanks for the content.

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Can you identify the simulation software you were using?

Why do people use these diagrams rather than a flowchart?

Damn so I'm just a finite state machine
