Abstract

In recent years different control architectures have been proposed for autonomous robots that are required to carry out service tasks robustly in civilian environments. In this paper a novel architecture is presented, which differs from the typical approaches from two main points of view: it is non hierarchical and it introduces an additional level of representation and reasoning based on image based, iconic descriptions. The paper will show how the proposed architecture has been implemented on a prototypical system, discuss its properties in detail and present our experimental experiences demonstrating the plausibility of the approach.
