Behavior-based Robotics

Flashcards covering key terms and concepts related to behavior-based and model-based robotics.

Model-based Robotics

Intelligence with representation; uses symbolic processing.

Behavior-based Robotics

Intelligence without representation; focuses on reflexive processing.

ACT-R

Adaptive Control of Thought—Rational; a computational framework for understanding human cognition.

Modular Architecture

An organization made up of specialized components that function in a serial manner.

Subsumption Architecture

A robotic architecture made of layers of autonomous sub-systems that operate simultaneously.

Reflexive Processing

A type of processing in behavior-based systems where robots react to stimuli without internal representations.

Symbolic Processing

A type of processing in model-based systems that involves manipulation of internal symbolic representations.

Cognitive Architecture

A theory for simulating and understanding human cognition.

Neural Network Modeling

An approach in computational cognitive science that attempts to simulate the way human neurons function.

Perception-Action Cycles (PACS)

The interdependent cycles of how perception influences action and vice versa, often studied in cognitive architecture.
