EMOTION BASED SUBSUMPTION ARCHITECTURE FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOTICS

Svetlicic, Ivan

Abstract Details

2004, Master of Computer Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Systems Analysis.
Robustness and simplicity are of major interest to autonomous robotics. One of the major problems in creating an autonomous robot is making the robot architecture flexible and robust, so that the robot can adapt easily to a wide range of environments. The Emotion Based Subsumption Architecture (EBSA) is introduced in order to solve some of the afore mentioned problems. EBSA builds on concepts of Brooks’ Architecture – mainly subsumption approach. This architecture has to offer high reactivity, as well as simplicity of implementation. Other foundations for EBSA are in animal biology, especially with issues dealing with primitive animals’ motivational conflict between different needs. Similarly to primitive animals, a robot can act according to the current emotion which is dictated by the current state of the environment. EBSA was implemented on a mobile robot, where it was able to successfully control robot’s actions and to show advantages over Brooks’ architecture.
