Visual architecture and cognitive architecture

Traditional architectures have fundamental epistemological problems. Perception is inherently resource limited so controlling perception involves all the same AI-complete problems of reasoning about time and resources as the full-scale planning problem. Allowing a planner to transparently assume that the information it needs will automatically be present and up-to-date in the model thus presupposes a solution to a problem at least as difficult as planning itself. Although one can imagine many possible solutions to this problem, such as allowing the planner to recurse on its own epistemological problems, there have been no convincing attempts at this. In this paper, I compare behaviour-based and traditional systems in terms of their representational power and the strengths of their implicit epistemological theories. I argue that both have serious limitations and that those limitations are not addressed simply by joining the two into a hybrid. I discuss my work with using vision to support real-time activit...
