Adaptive Intelligent Systems Architecture Update
Work on the AIS project continues and the architecture has changed
since the 1992 timeframe in which we describe it. This node, largely
based on discussions with AIS developers, attempts to briefly address
some of these changes. The numbers following each entry lead to a
numbered reference in the AIS references
which describe the new property or capability in greater detail.:
- Hierarchical Organization
AIS has been expanded to a two-level architecture. Each level consists
of a structure which resembles the AIS architecture
presented here. The difference is functional. The lower or physical level
is largely concerned with monitoring perceptual input. The second, or
cognitive level includes processes more removed from the
low-level processing of perceptual stimuli.
[1][2][3]
- Modular Organization
The development of AIS has suggested the compartmentalization of
tasks, methods, and
knowledge sources.
Thus, for example, it may be possible
for the same architecture to be configured with different methods for the
same task, different tasks for the same knowledge sources, etc. [2]
- Robotic Tasks
Since 1992, an AIS has been used for both a simulated and a real mobile robot.
