<title>Robot control architectures: application requirements, approaches, and technologies</title>

Abstract

This paper identifies attributes of intelligent robotic applications and surveys the different flavor in robot control architectures. Directions in robot control are discussed in more detail and the attributes and properties of different approaches are compared. A section on applied technologies lists the application area covered by existing real-world and test bed implementations and simulations for the various applied control architectures.© (1995) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
