ARCHITECTURE OF AN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM: APPLICATION TO MOBILE ROBOT NAVIGATION

Abstract

We investigate the behavioural approach for building autonomous systems like mobile robots. In this paper we describe the mobile robot MANO together with its experimental behavioural architecture and present several advanced topics related to the interplay of the physical, behavioural and cognitive levels of the architecture like integration of vision, navigation with selfpositioning, methodology of task implementation, and two original behavioural based knowledge representation approaches.
