Abstract

This paper explores the characteristics of intelligent systems, focusing on impact of intelligence on performance metrics. The feedback loops required for intelligence cause areas of stable and unstable performance over environmental characteristics. The stable areas result in wide zones of nearly identical performance, surrounded by unstable zones where performance degrades. We present design criteria for probing the envelope of stability, and present the results of performance metrics for an mobile autonomous robot.
