Programming Robotic Agents: A Multi-tasking Teleo-Reactive Approach
This talk will present a multi-threaded/multi-tasking message communicating robotic
agent architecture in which the concurrently executing tasks are programmed in
TeleoR, a major extension of Nilsson’s Teleo-Reactive Procedures (TR) language
for robotic agents. TeleoR programmed tasks are robust and opportunistic, redoing
or skipping actions as appropriate. This makes them well suited to robot/robot or
human/robot co-operative tasks.
