Abstract
This paper describes the main properties of behavior-based approaches to control. Different approaches to designing and using behaviors as basic units for control, representation, and learning are illustrated on three empirical examples of robots performing navigation and path-finding, group behaviors, and learning behavior selection. 1 Introduction An architecture provides a set of principles for organizing control systems. In addition to supplying structure, it imposes constraints on the way control problems can be solved. In this paper we explore the constraints of behavior-based approaches to control, and demonstrate them on three architectures that were used to implement robots that successfully performed navigation and pathfinding, group behaviors, and learning of behavior selection. In each case, we focus on the different ways behaviors are defined, modularized, and combined. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 gives an overview of basic approaches to autonomous agent...
