A Generic Model for Perception-Action Systems. Analysis of a Knowledge-Based Prototype

In this paper we propose a general layered model for the design of perception-action system. We discuss some desirable properties such a system must support to meet the severe constrains imposed by the expected behaviour of reactive systems. SVEX, a knowledge-based multilevel system, is used as a test prototype to implement and evaluate those considerations.
