Regulation Function for Agent Adaptation Issues in Ambient Environment

TL;DR: This work introduces the Influence-Reaction Model into the agent behaviour management and proposes a regulation function within agent architecture which is a filter which acts on the stream of behaviour before it becomes or not action.

Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "A behaviour-based control architecture for heterogeneous modular, multi-configurable, chained micro-robots" ?

In this paper, the authors present a control solution for chained, modular robots composed of different types of module ( heterogeneous modules ) that can be arranged in different configurations, a feature called multi-configurability.
