Layered Control Architectures

Layered Control Architecture is a robot control architecture that organizes behavioral functionalities into a hierarchy of discrete layers, each encapsulating a specific level of abstraction and operating at distinct temporal or conceptual scales, thereby enabling modular development, systematic error handling, and incremental complexity management in autonomous mobile systems.
