A real-time hybrid control architecture for biped humanoid robots is proposed. The architecture is modular and hierarchical. The main robot’s functionalities are organized in four parallel modules: perception, actuation, world-modeling, and hybrid control. Hybrid control is divided in three behavior-based hierarchical layers: the planning layer, the deliberative layer, and the reactive layer, which work in parallel and have very different response speeds and planning capabilities. The…

The object localisation based on multiple image information for a humanoid robot
TLDR
Using the humanoid robot stereo vision system and the depth, colour, shape and size of four types of image information, a fast and gradually approaching target area image segmentation method has been designed and based on multi-image information features, the humanoid robots can locate the target object, and the localisation accuracy has been improved.

Versatile, High-Quality Motions and Behavior Control of a Humanoid Soccer Robot
TLDR
Although based on a "minimalistic" design which only uses gyroscopes in the hip but not foot-ground contact sensors for control of balance, versatile and high-quality walking motions have been developed and experimental results are reported.
An Behavior-based Robotics
TLDR
Following a discussion of the relevant biological and psychological models of behavior, the author covers the use of knowledge and learning in autonomous robots, behavior-based and hybrid robot architectures, modular perception, robot colonies, and future trends in robot intelligence.

CAMPOUT: a control architecture for tightly coupled coordination of multirobot systems for planetary surface exploration
TLDR
An enabling distributed control architecture called control architecture for multiro Bot planetary outposts (CAMPOUT), wherein integrated multirobot mobility and control mechanisms are derived as group compositions and coordination of more basic behaviors under a task-level multiagent planner.
Hierarchical Reactive Control for Soccer Playing Humanoid Robots
TLDR
A view on intelligence has established itself over the last two decades that does not rely on manipulating symbols, but emphasizes the interaction of an agent with its environment, which enables feedback from its actions to its sensory signals.
From Deliberative to Routine Behaviors: A Cognitively Inspired Action-Selection Mechanism for Routine Behavior Capture
TLDR
This paper presents a method for capturing, or learning, sequential tasks by transferring serial behavior execution from deliberative to routine control, and demonstrates how this process can be performed autonomously as part of the normal function of the robot, without the need for an explicit learning stage or user guidance.

TLDR
The authors describe how a behaviour based system can be controlled by a rule based expert system, where the interaction between behaviours is described in terms of a process algebra, and this results in a modular system, and a system with a predictable performance.
