Abstract

This paper provides an overview on the contribution of soft computing to the field of behavior based robotics. It discusses the role of pure fuzzy, neuro-fuzzy and genetic fuzzy rule-based systems for behavior architectures and adaptation. It reviews a number of applications of soft computing techniques to autonomous robot navigation and control.
