A survey of control architectures for autonomous mobile robots

This paper identifies attributes of intelligent robotic applications and surveys the different flavor in robot control architectures. Directions in robot control are discussed and the attributes and properties of different proposals are classified and compared. In the conclusion we present our point of view about the current state of designing robot control architectures.
