Abstract

Distributed perceptual systems are endowed with different kind of sensors, from which information flows to suitable modules to perform useful elaborations for decisions making. In this paper a new distributed architecture, named “Distributed Architecture for Intelligent SYstem” (DAISY), is proposed. It is based on the concept of co-operating behavioral agents supervised by a “Central Engagement Module”. This module integrates the processing of data coming from the behavioral agents with a symbolic level of representation, by the introduction of a “conceptual space” intermediate analogue representation. The DAISY project is under development; experiments on navigation and exploration for an autonomous robot are done to evaluate its performance
