Research on classification of intelligent robot architectures

Abstract

The traditional classification of intelligent robot architectures is not enough to discriminate all kinds of new arisen architectures.This paper presented the definition of intelligent robot architectures and their new classification,The seven representative architectures were summarized and analysed by time: hierarchical,subsumption, three-layer, self-organizing, distributed, evolutionary control and social robot architecture, in terms of the spatial-temporal distributing mode of intelligence, behaviors, information and control of the intelligent robot systems.The classification criterion appeared in this paper can describe intelligent robot architectures more roundly in detail so that all kinds of architectures are differentiated clearly,which is helpful for the analysis and design of intelligent robot architectures.
