Motivation Dynamics for Autonomous Composition of Navigation tasks

IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2021
In this article, we physically demonstrate a reactive sensorimotor architecture for mobile robots whose behaviors are generated by motivation dynamics. Motivation dynamics uses a continuous dynamical system to reactively compose low-level control vector fields using valuation functions that capture the potentially competing influences of external ...
