Title
Basic visual and motor agents for increasingly complex behavior generation on a mobile robot
Abstract
Present work addresses the guidelines that have been followed toconstruct basic behavioral agents for visually guided navigation within theframework of a hierarchical architecture. Visual and motor interactions aredescribed within this generic framework that allows for an incrementaldevelopment of behavior from an initial basis set. Basic locomotion agentsas, Stop&Backward, Avoid, and Forward are implemented by means of fuzzyknowledge bases to deal with the uncertainty and imprecision inherent toreal systems and environments. Basic visual agents as, Saccadic,Find_Contour, and Center are raised under a space-variantrepresentation pursuing an anthropomorphic approach. We illustrate how acomplex behavior results from the combination of lower level agents alwaysconnected to the basic motor agents. The proposed methodology is validatedon a caterpillar mobile robot in navigation tasks directed by an objectdescription.
