Robotic Immune Systems: An Architecture

摘要

Robots, as a more and more important part of our life and manufacture, encounter more and more threats, such as spam, intrusions as well as misuses and faults. In order to deal with these threats, the artificial immune systems for robots will play a very important and key role for the features of inherent distributivity, learning and memory, and fault-tolerant; and we call the resulting systems as the robotic immune systems. In this paper, first, we analyze the necessity of the robotic immune systems for robots to adapt to complex and dynamic environments. Then, we propose an architecture of the robotic immune systems, i.e., a multi-layer immune system for robots. Finally, the relationships of key techniques used by the robotic immune systems are presented.
