Brooks: Robust Control
Description
- The Brooksian architecture produces reliable behavior in spite of its
limited sensing capability and an
unpredictable environment
- Reliable behavior includes effective obstacle avoidance and other survival measures
- Individual behaviors can be composed to compensate for each others
failures, resulting in an emergently coherent behavior despite the limitations
of the component behaviors
- This is a result of distributed control
