This paper reviews key concepts of the Autonomous Robot Architecture (AuRA). Its structure,
strengths, and roots in biology are presented. AuRA is a hybrid deliberative/reactive robotic …

Autonomous agent architectures are design methodologies—collections of knowledge and
strategies which are applied to the problem of creating situated intelligence. This article …

Designing Autonomous Agents provides a summary and overview of the radically different
architectures that have been developed over the past few years for organizing robots. These …

A comprehensive survey of artificial intelligence algorithms and programming organization
for robot systems, combining theoretical rigor and practical applications. This textbook offers …

This paper briefly describes a robot architecture that has been under development for the
last eight years. This architecture uses several levels of abstraction and description …

The new approaches that have been developed recently for artificial intelligence (AI) arose
from work with mobile robots. This chapter outlines the context within which this work arose …

This paper provides an overview of the bottom-up approach to artificial intelligence (AI),
commonly referred to as behavior-oriented AI. The behavior-oriented approach, with its …

This paper presents a heterogeneous, asynchronous architecture for controlling
autonomous mobile robots which is capable of controlling a robot performing multiple tasks …

This paper describes an implementation of the 3T robot architecture which has been under
development for the last eight years. The architecture uses three levels of abstraction and …

This theoretical paper introduces a formal architecture that supports the integration of
various AI technologies, including planning, to make an autonomous agent. The design …
