Behavior based robotics using hybrid automata
This talk investigates how a behavior based control system for
autonomous robots can be modeled as a hybrid automaton, where
each node corresponds to a distinct robot behavior. This is desirable
since the automata framework allows us to deal with so
called emergent phenomena in a systematic way, by focusing on safety and
performance verification explicitly. However, this
type of construction can also potentially give rise to chattering
executions, but we show how regularized automata suggest a
solution to this problem. We also discuss some design and implementation
issues.
