Postmodular Systems: Architectural Principles for Cognitive Robotics

Development of complex robotic systems using the behavior-based control architecture iB2C

This paper presents a development methodology for complex robotic systems using the behavior-based control architecture iB2C (integrated Behavior-Based Control). It is shown how architectural principles support several behavior-based mechanisms, e. g. coordination mechanisms, behavior interaction, and hierarchical abstraction. Furthermore, design guidelines and structural patterns are presented...

The dynamics of neural activation variables

This paper presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the elementary building blocks of neurally inspired architectures for cognitive robotics. It provides a brief outline of the fundamental principles by which biological nervous systems link to the environment 5 in terms of perception, cognition, and behavior. We describe a class of dynamic neural activation variable based on these prin...

Cognitive management of multi-service multi-tenant 5G mobile networks

Fifth generation (5G) mobile networks are expected to support diverse use cases beyond traditional voice and mobile broadband services. Efforts to connect anyone and anything have gained significant traction in several industries, among them automotive, logistics, manufacturing, and robotics. Exemplary use cases include eHealth, IoT (Internet of Things) applications, and V2X (vehicle-to-anythin...
