Lecture

Layered control: Motor control in vertebrates to robots

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of layered control architectures, from motor control in vertebrates to robots, focusing on the Subsumption architecture and modern behavior architectures. It discusses deliberative control, exemplified by obstacle avoidance, and the problems associated with breaking tasks into smaller sub-tasks, such as causing AI research to focus on irrelevant sub-problems, resulting in designs that are not robust or scalable.
