Teleo-Reactive Programs for Agent Control
TLDR
Teleo-reactive (T-R) programs whose execution entails the construction of circuitry for the continuous computation of the parameters and conditions on which agent action is based support parameter binding and recursion.Abstract:
A formalism is presented for computing and organizing actions for autonomous agents in dynamic environments. We introduce the notion of teleo-reactive (T-R) programs whose execution entails the construction of circuitry for the continuous computation of the parameters and conditions on which agent action is based. In addition to continuous feedback, T-R programs support parameter binding and recursion. A primary difference between T-R programs and many other circuit-based systems is that the circuitry of T-R programs is more compact; it is constructed at run time and thus does not have to anticipate all the contingencies that might arise over all possible runs. In addition, T-R programs are intuitive and easy to write and are written in a form that is compatible with automatic planning and learning methods. We briefly describe some experimental applications of T-R programs in the control of simulated and actual mobile robots.read more

Between MDPs and semi-MDPs: a framework for temporal abstraction in reinforcement learning
TL;DR: It is shown that options enable temporally abstract knowledge and action to be included in the reinforcement learning frame- work in a natural and general way and may be used interchangeably with primitive actions in planning methods such as dynamic pro- gramming and in learning methodssuch as Q-learning.

The uses of fuzzy logic in autonomous robot navigation
TL;DR: This paper focuses on four issues: how to design robust behavior-producing modules; how to coordinate the activity of several such modules;How to use data from the sensors; and how to integrate high-level reasoning and low-level execution.

Computation and human experience
TL;DR: In this article, a critical reconstruction of the fundamental ideas and methods of artificial intelligence research is presented, arguing for a reorientation of the field away from thought in the head and toward activity in the world.

Reactive reasoning and planning
TL;DR: The reasoning system that controls the robot is designed to exhibit the kind of behavior expected of a rational agent, and is endowed with the psychological attitudes of belief, desire, and intention, resulting in complex goal-directed and reflective behaviors.
