MULTI-LAYERED HYBRID ARCHITECTURE TO SOLVE COMPLEX TASKS OF AN AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT

Abstract

In this paper, we present the implementation of an autonomous mobile robot controller developed according to the principle of a multi-layered hybrid architecture. This architecture is composed of four layers: sensori-motor, behavioral, sequencing, and strategic. The paper describes its general structure and the function of its main elements. It further analyses the development of an example task presenting the advantages of the hybrid architecture.
