An Embedded Network Based Platform for Cognitive Robotics

The Concurrent Autonomous Agent is a cognitive architecture composed of three levels that run concurrently: the reactive level, that executes the perception-action cycle using reactive behaviors; the instinctive level, that coordinates plan execution; and the cognitive level, responsible for planning. In this work a hardware architecture dedicated to the execution of the cognitive agent architecture in an autonomous omnidirectional robot is presented. The work corrects mistakes from previous works and conceives a complete embedded platform for cognitive robotics. The results show the hardware development and presents an experiment that validates platform performance.
