Mobile robots used for search and rescue suffer from uncertain time duration sustainable operation. Solar energy has the drawback that it fluctuates depending on weather. By integrating battery supercapacitor, management system eliminates this shortcoming. Managing power sharing between supercapacitor is conducted by fuzzy logic controller proportional integral controller. The provides a refere...

This work is focused on implementing situation switching in an AIBO robot inside an unpredictable environment. The goal is to achieve intelligent situation dependent reactive behavior without modifying the underlying planning algorithm. The focus is on visible intelligent behavior for a robot. Our ideas are illustrated using a benchmark experiment featuring an AIBO in a maze. The implementation...

Intelligent mobile robots need the ability to integrate robust navigation facilities with higher level reasoning. This paper is an attempt at combining results and techniques from the areas of robot navigation and of intelligent agency. We propose to integrate an existing navigation system based on fuzzy logic with a deliberator based on the so-called BDI model. We discuss some of the subtletie...

The paper shows a distributed architecture for autonomous robot navigation. The architecture is based on three modules that are implemented on separate and interacting agents: the target recognizer, the obsta90cle evaluator and the planner. An adaptive genetic algorithm has been studied to identify mechanisms for reaching the target and for manipulating the 2-diretions of the robot; the distrib...
