Reminds me of a project I did for NASA some years back, designing a control system for an autonomous fire-watching UAV. The goal was to make the UAV be smart about what observations to make of a forest fire, to help fighting it. I decided it should run simulations of the future of the fire, and make those observations that minimized the uncertainty of those simulations.
