Integrated Approach to Intelligent Systems.

摘要

This report presents a technical summary of the activities of the MURI during the period August 1996 through July 2001. To summarize, the main contributions of the MURI in this period have been to advance the basic state of knowledge in: 1. Multi-modal control of 'single agent' systems: modeling, analysis, control law synthesis and simulation 2. Design of hierarchical control architectures for multi-agent systems that share a single environment 3. Perception systems: (a) hierarchical aggregation (b) wide-area surveillance and (c) low-level perception 4. Frameworks for representing and reasoning with uncertainty Soft computing and evolutionary approaches to the design of complex systems.
