Behaviora is a preliminary conceptual architecture that represents both external and internal behavior of robots and agents in an addressable form. It defines a Behavior Episode composed of components derived from behavior taxonomies, each assigned a persistent Internet of Behaviors (IoB) Address. The architecture also includes a Style Profile to describe how behavior is expressed, an Experience Profile to capture internal state influencing execution, and a Behavior Compiler to translate these representations into platform‑specific actions.

The paper "Why did My Robot Just Change Personality? Prompting Guidelines for a Grounded Robot Persona in LLM-Based HRI" addresses the lack of clear prompt design in human‑robot interaction using large language models. It proposes a framework and a structured prompt template with eight functional components to specify, bound, and adapt robot behavior. The authors base their guidelines on a review of prior work and on survey data from 27 HRI experts, highlighting issues such as unclear robot personality, the need for user adaptation, and ethical concerns around safety, deception, and governance.
