Contact Sensing: A Sequential Decision Approach to Sensing.. - Eberman (1995)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....finite state machine. The algorithm which observers the measurements to detect contact events, or to determine the contact state is a cotact state observer. This idea of event driven manipulation programming has been evolving under dif ferent names at many research centers. Brooks [Brooks, 1985, Brooks, 1987] argues for an implementation called the subsumption architecture. Howe and Cutkosky define the events by the measurements generated as the robot transitions between manipulation phases. They used these events to drive their grasping algorithm. An other work [McCarragher and Asada, 1993b] ....

....More general structures are also possible. This idea of event driven manipulation has been evolving under different names at many research centers. Nevins et al. [Nevins ctal. 1973] presents one of the earliest event driven frameworks for programming a robot for assembly. Brooks [Brooks, 1985, Brooks, 1987] argues for an implementation called the subsumption architec ture. Howe and Cutkosky use event transitions, which they term contact events, to drive their grasping algorithm. Another work [McCarragher and Asada, 1993a] focused on the transitions to drive an assembly algorithm. This mixed ....

....without regard to the amount of time it is taking or the changes meanwhile going on, is not likely to make rational decisions. One solution that has been proposed eliminates explicit execution time reasoning by compiling into the agent all decisions about what to do in particular situations [1, 6, 12]. This is an interesting endeavor whose ultimate feasibility remains an open question, but we and others believe that in complex domains, the exclusive use of compilation techniques is impractical [8, 9, 14] An alternative is to design agents that perform explicit reasoning at execution time, but ....

The Case for a Realistic Mobile Robot Simulator - Mark Torrance (1992)   (3 citations)  (Correct)

....will be discussed below. Despite their advantages simulators have been criticized for making it easy to solve some difficult problems, making it difficult to solve other easy problems, and for creating false decompositions of robot control problems. We shall consider these criticisms in turn. In [3], Brooks argues that simulation requires a constant feedback from real experiments to ensure that it is not being abused. He goes on to say that simulators create a temptation to simulate the perceptual system, creating false decompositions which lead researchers to work This material is ....

In that respect, the disadvantages of a long term strategy are quite clear (note that these critics can be applied to plans, in the AI acceptation of the term, see (Brooks 1987)) 1) relying on too global information prevents it from being truly adaptive to unpredictible details and it is always difficult to backtrack when the resources are already engaged in their respective actions; 2) assuming that the resources are dependable prevents it from being robust to ....
