Abstract :
The controller architecture for an autonomous mobile robot is considered. First, the controller is divided into a behavior level and a functional level. The interface of these levels are discussed and the conceptual architecture for the autonomous robot are proposed. The special feature of this architecture are `functional distribution´ and `centralized decision-making´. The multi-processor architecture for realization is also proposed
