GLUE - A Component Connecting Schema-based Reactive to Higher-level Deliberative Layers for Autonomous Agents.
James Kramer, Matthias J. Scheutz · 2003
Several problems need to be addressed when integrating re-active and deliberative layers in a hybrid architecture, most importantly the different time scales of operation and (pos-sibly) different data representations of the individual layers. This paper proposes an interface component called GLUE that is designed to mediate between a schema-based reactive and higher-level deliberative layer. We demonstrate the viability of the conceptual architectural design by defining and imple-menting a schema-based reactive architecture for a ball fol-lowing task on an autonomous agent, which is then extended by the GLUE component to interface with a simple delibera-tive layer.
