TL;DR: Presents a system for intelligent robot navigation that has the ability to integrate goal directed planning with information acquisition from the external world, and with reaction to failure.
Abstract: Presents a system for intelligent robot navigation Its main feature is the ability to integrate goal directed planning with information acquisition from the external world, and with reaction to failure This ability is obtained by means of a two-layered architecture: the higher (strategical) level controls the activation of the modules of the lower (navigation) level, which can perform, in different ways, basic tasks such as path planning, activation of navigation and processing of information acquired from the external environment By programming the strategical level with the suitable strategies, the system can control navigation with sophisticated modalities >

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe NALIG, a system able to understand natural language like scene descriptions and to draw automatically the image of the scene on a graphic screen, provided with knowledge to perform common sense reasoning about spatial configurations of objects, to derive default conclusions, to detect inconsistency and to modify the internal representation of a scene to preserve consistency.
