Agent-based Theory Applied in Mobile Robotics

This paper presents our experience in building complex autonomous systems through modularization and task specialization. As the test-bed, mobile devices were used. Some insights regarding the integration of agent-based theory in the framework of biological intelligence are presented. The obtained results approach the the definition and implementation of the intelligent activities and their realization in the framework of agent-based theory, namely, problem solving and planning, search, decision making, and learning. The experiments presented in this work specifically describe a framework of defining navigational tasks based on artificial intelligence methods.
