Integrating Reactive and Deliberative Planning in a Household Robot

Abstract

Autonomous agents that respond intelligentlyin dyoamic, complex environments need to be both reactive and delib-erative. Reactive systems have traditionally fared better than deliberative planers in such environments, but are often hard to code and inflexible. To fill in some of these gaps, we propose a hybrid system that exploits the strengths of both reactive and deliberative systems. We demonstrate how our system controls a simulated house-hold robot and compare our system to a purely reactive one in this domain. 1.
