Hybrid architectures for situated systems

The design of control architectures for situative systems is a complicated task. On the one hand situative systems need to be able to be robust, even if minor changes in the environment take place, on the other hand pure reactive behavior leads to agents, that are hard to control and have difficulties in acting according to long term plans.

Numerous architectures have been proposed to overcome these drawbacks. In the first part of the talk I will try to give an overview over some of these approaches.

In the second part of the talk an integrated architecture for the controlable reactive agent CoRA will be presented. The (simulated) agent processes given instructions, integrates situative data and then performs action sequences.
