- [Brooks1986] A robust layered control system for a
mobile robot.
Brooks presents his subsumption architecture for building
mobile robots. Much recent work at MIT has followed this approach. - [Boddy and
Dean1989] "Solving time-dependent
planning problems".
A framework for constructing solutions to planning problems in
which time spent on planning affects the utility of the system's
performance. The motivation is important. Ignore the details. - [Drummond1989] Situated Control Rules.
Situated control rules act to reduce the nondeterministic choice of
control programs. They are computed as time becomes available for
planning.
- [Agre and Chapman1987] Pengi: An Implementation of a Theory of
Activity.
Acting through improvisation and without planning.
Pengi is a program that engages in a complex, apparently planful
activity without requiring explicit models of the world. Pengi
uses indexical functions to cope with the active world. The claim
that complex behavior can result from a simple system interacting
with a complex environment was given earlier by Herb Simon
([Simon1969]) in Sciences of the Artificial,
pages 63-66.
