Mobile Sensor Systems Robotic Platforms and Smart Sensors

Mobile robots must adapt to react safely with other robots, the environment and their mission. Adaptive behaviors for multiple mission scenarios require multi-level controls and the ability to modify controls at many levels. In many sensing and operational scenarios, deterministic solutions are not practical. Due to the inherent complexity of real world operations changes within even a single mission scenario, can cause major software revisions. Soft Computing techniques, expert systems, neural networks and other adaptive learning techniques are a potential solution to reduce cost and risk.
