HEIR - A Non Hierarchical Hybrid Architecture for Intelligent Robots

نویسنده

  • Maurizio Piaggio
چکیده

In recent years different control architectures have been proposed for autonomous robots that are required to carry out service tasks robustly in civilian environments. In this paper a novel architecture is presented, which differs from the typical approaches from two main points of view: it is non hierarchical and it introduces an additional level of representation and reasoning based on image based, iconic descriptions. The paper will show how the proposed architecture has been implemented on a prototypical system, discuss its properties in detail and present our experimental experiences demonstrating the plausibility of the approach.

A Real-Time Hybrid Architecture for Biped Humanoids with Active Vision Mechanisms

A real-time hybrid control architecture for biped humanoid robots is proposed. The architecture is modular and hierarchical. The main robot’s functionalities are organized in four parallel modules: perception, actuation, world-modeling, and hybrid control. Hybrid control is divided in three behavior-based hierarchical layers: the planning layer, the deliberative layer, and the reactive layer, w...

Mission-Directed Behaviour-Based Robots

This paper argues that the S* robot control architecture of Tsotsos [1997] is well-suited to intelligent control of planetary rovers. Behaviour-based systems operate well in unknown environments, but cannot support deliberative functionality. Hybrid systems resolve this issue, but introduce the potential for other problems. S* is a non-hybrid approach that supports deliberation but also attenti...

Synthesis of Fuzzy , Artificial Intelligence , Neural Networks , and Genetic Algorithm for Hierarchical Intelligent Control - Top - Down and Bottom - Up Hybrid Method -

Autonomous robots, which perform tasks without human operators, are required in many fields. The autonomous robots have to carry out tasks in various environments by themselves like human beings. They have to be intelligent to determine their own actions in unknown environments by themselves based on sensory information. In advance, human operators can give the robots their knowledge and skill ...

Architecture for Hybrid Robotic Behavior

Software architectures for agent technology and robots have been polarized between reactive architectures and architectures based on planning and reasoning. Although hybrid architectures have been shown to offer benefits from both, these seem complicated to integrate. In this paper we integrate the reactive nature of finite state machines and the reasoning capabilities of non-monotonic logics t...

A parallel processing architecture for sensor-based control of intelligent mobile robots

Parallel processing plays an important role in sensor-based control of intelligent mobile robots. This paper describes the design and implementation of a parallel processing architecture used for real-time, sensor-based control of mobile robots. This architecture takes the form of a network of sensing and control nodes, based on a novel module that we call Locally Intelligent Control Agent (LIC...
