The code is here: https://github.com/opencog/ros-behavior-scripting/tree/master/sensors See for example, "room brightness" or "sound track".

There's a write up for how do do this here: https://github.com/opencog/opencog/blob/master/opencog/eva/architecture/embodiment.pdf Some of it is implemented; its crude.

So does everyone. Easy to say, hard to do. You can implement quick cheesy hacks in a few months or a few years. You can spend ten or 20 yeas after that, and still not get even close. Many, many many have tried, no one has been successful yet.
