Traditional symbolic reasoning systems are typically built on a transaction model of computation, which complicates the process of synchronizing their world models with changes in a dynamic environment. This problem is exacerbated in the multi-robot case, where there are now n world models keep in synch. In this paper, we describe an inference grounding and coordination mechanism for robot teams based on tagged behavior-based systems. This approach supports a large subset of classical AI techniques while providing a novel representation that allows team members to share information efficiently. We illustrate our approach on two problems involving systematic spatial search. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A typical chemical plume tracing (CPT) is to navigate an autonomous vehicle to find a chemical plume that is transported in a turbulent fluid flow, to trace the plume to its source, and to declare the source location. CPT in the real world, however, is more complicated, for example, some test runs, conducted in August 2002 on Clememte Island, California, failed because of some "soft obstacles", such as kelp forest or seaweed in near-shore ocean environments. This paper presents a subsumption architecture for CPT with soft obstacle avoidance by integrating a Follow-Obstacle behavior. The behaviors used herein can be grouped into two categories: soft obstacle avoidance and plume searching and tracing. The simulation studies of CPT with soft obstacle avoidance are performed using a simulated turbulent fluid environment.

This paper proposes the behavior learning algorithms for improving the performance of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Basically, the motion of a UUV with behavior-based controls is determined by the behaviors' outputs which are calculated based on the uncertain dynamic models. Therefore, the performance of a UUV can be improved by learning the dynamic models. For this purpose, the perturbation models for three behaviors such as speed command, turning motion, and diving motion are derived and trained by supervised neural network so that the perturbations are estimated and compensated in the exploitation stage. Simulation result is presented for verifying the performance of the learning algorithms.

This paper describes a novel behavior-based local navigation approach for rough off-road scenarios. Trajectory candidates are generated based on vehicle kinematics and dynamics as well as the desired global trajectory. In contrast to on-road local navigation approaches, the work at hand proposes the use of a shiftable elevation grid map instead of occupancy maps since traversability in rough terrains does not only depend on location, but also on the robot's orientation. The traversability is evaluated by determining tire contact points with the terrain to take various different safety and efficiency aspects like underbody collisions and rollover risk into account. By exploiting the behavior-based control paradigm, the navigation approach can be easily extended and its robustness is shown in experimental evaluations using an Unimog U5023.

In this work, we demonstrate the applicability of a recently proposed automatic synthesis approach for behavioral arbitrators based on Probabilistic Finite State Machines (PFSMs) for a multi-robot scenario. More specifically, a behavior-based controller for a multirobot exploration scenario is automatically synthesized using a predefined set of basic behaviors and conditions. A key feature of the used synthesis approach is the tailored use of two modeling levels of the scenario, microscopic and submicroscopic, to significantly reduce the computational effort. Furthermore, the modeling is extended by a simplified macroscopic model of the scenario to analytically evaluate the best achievable performance given an ideal controller, taking into account real-world constraints such as limited speed and localization. Taking advantage of the interpretability of the synthesized PFSM-based arbitrators, individualistic and collaborative controllers are analyzed separately to provide insights into the theoretical and experimental effects of collaboration for the considered case study. The obtained results show that the PFSMbased synthesis approach is also suitable for multi-robot scenarios, and in particular that the collaborative solution can compete with a manually designed and fine-tuned solution.

In the millennium, there has been an increased interest in returning to the Moon, and we are conducting the research of micro-rover for lunar exploration that can help to cut down the transportation cost. This paper presents the system-level issues that direct the design in terms of functions, operations and constraints (in term of system resources and environment). At the same time, we argue that although the application-driven experiments engineering has represented some of the best practical results obtained to-date, a sound theory, named Autonomous behavior-based robotics, is needed. It not only should include the robotics or rovers achievements achieved by robotic community from both behavior-based robotics and autonomous hierarchical robotics, but also integrate the achievements of related fields including human movement science, cognitive science, evolutionary computation, and multi-agent systems, etc. Moreover, we analyze the autonomous behavior-based micro-rover system, identify key elements that must be defined in any formal model from system viewpoint.

Traction control is fundamental for self-driving vehicles' safe and robust off-road control. Aspects such as surface material heavily affect slippage and driving behavior and requires consideration for a forward-thinking driving method. This paper presents an approach for optimized traction controlbased on deep convolutional neural networks, combined with OpenStreetMap data to determine ground surface properties. The semantic surface segmentation provides information about estimated surface friction coefficients. The driving behavior adjusts and maximizes traction by selecting the best-suited gear selection, differential lock control, and tire pressure. Additionally, steering and breaking adjust to the ground friction. The demonstration uses the autonomous off-road truck U5023 in a forest-like environment close to a landfill.

The focus of research of AUV is gradually moving towards multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (MAUV) in recent years. This paper describes an investigation into cooperative control of MAUV. Firstly, a distributed control architecture (MOOS) was applied to MAIN system. According to MOOS, functionalities of AUV were organized in a modular manner and a unified information exchange mechanism was used to ensure an efficient communication between different modules. Secondly, a behaviorbasedcontrol strategy was proposed to enable the AUV to cooperate with each other intelligently and adaptively. Interval programming algorithm was applied to make sure that behaviors of each Ally can be coordinated in a timely and optimal manner. Stability of behavior-based control of AUV was analyzed. Finally, a distributed simulation environment was established and a series of simulation were carried out to verify the feasibility of methods mentioned above.

behavior-based control present a different approach in designing control system of robot. In this paper will be implemented behavior-based control system into an autonomous robot using Active Object Computing Model technique. With this technique will be demonstrated coordination between behavior in parallel and switching behavior. Map building behavior is a behavior of robot to transform the reading of distance sensor to image of environment. In testing, it was shown the coordination of behavior in parallel was successfully demonstrated by map building behavior and wall following behavior. Map building behavior also successfully represents the reading of distance sensor into a map the environment in the form of images.
