Brooks April 1986 paper is the seminal work which describes his subsumption architecture. The other papers describe a whole range of mobile robots (mobots) which they have running around in their lab. Maes paper describes the extensions which she has developed to add learning capabilities to the subsumption architecture. -- Jim Vallino Siemens Corporate Research, Inc., Princeton, NJ jrv@demon.siemens.com princeton!siemens!demon!jrv (609) 734-3331
