Minimalist Mobile Robotics A Colony-Style Architecture for an Artificial Creature

Rather than using traditional artificial intelligence techniques, which are ineffective when applied to the complexities of real-world robot navigaiton, Connell describes a methodology of reconstructing intelligent robots with distributed, multiagent control systems. After presenting this methodology, hte author describes a complex, robust, and successful application-a mobile robot "can collection machine" which operates in an unmodified offifce environment occupied by moving people.Connell, Jonathan H. is the author of 'Minimalist Mobile Robotics A Colony-Style Architecture for an Artificial Creature' with ISBN 9780121852306 and ISBN 012185230X.
