The research will investigate the integration of a number of sensors            and actuation mechanisms to form a robust robot controller.  Principal          research issues are:  (1) the subdivision of the task to allow for              concurrent planning and execution by the sensor and action systems, or          "agents", (2) the integration of a number of disparate partial sensor           observations from these agents into a "best" statistical estimate of            task state; and (3) the development of a real time programming system           to support such a distributed agent system.  The project will also              investigate language primitives for expressing timing constraints               within agents, distributed scheduling of agent execution, and                   inter-agent communication requirements.
