Description

ICARUS

ICARUS is an integrated architecture for controlling an intelligent agent in a complex physical environment. The architecture is divided into modular components: a perceptual system (ARGUS), a planning system (DAEDALUS), an execution system (MAEANDER), and the memory system (LABYRINTH), each running asynchronously, carrying out activities independently (that is, in parallel), but sharing all knowledge in LABYRINTH. There is the notion of prioritized, interruptable tasks shared by the first three components. Knowledge is stored in a unified concept heirarchy consisting of "experiences" and probability concepts.

Keep in mind that each of these components are complete as stand-alone entities, but there has been no integration of components, and so no actual test data exists.
