- | In the past there have been 2 broad approaches to robot design: | + | =====Links===== |
- | * Hierarchical, | + | |
- | * Behavioural approach | + | |
- | This can be summed up as predictive vs reactive. | + | |
- | The plan is to use a hybrid approach, example | + | [[Lirec Work Packages]] |
- | The architecture will consist of 3 layers of abstraction: | + | [[Lirec Articles]] |
- | * Level 1 - device layer, platform dependant | + | |
- | * Level 2 - platform dependant -> logical mappings | + | |
- | * Level 3 - ION, platform independent | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Level 2 will provide a reference architecture with modular capabilities called competencies. Not all competencies will make sense for all platforms, and different implementations of the same competency will be needed for different platforms. | + | |

- | Example competencies: | + | |
- | * Face finding | + | |
