Fuzzy logic in autonomous robotics: behavior coordination

Most current architectures for autonomous robots are based on a decomposition of the control problem into small units of control, or behaviors. While this decomposition has a number of advantages, it brings about the problem of having to coordinate the execution of different units in order to obtain a globally coherent behavior. In this paper, we discuss how fuzzy logic can be used, and has been used, to address this problem.
