The Modular Intelligent Being: Review and a Proposal

Abstract

The paper provides a review and addresses the problem of creating a modular hardware system that can be effortlessly reconfigured by developers of autonomous intelligent control systems for mission type task execution in realtime physical environments. The idea is to allow for a common hardware platform which enables algorithmic results to be compared, accumulated and properly assessed by the research community. Such a single platform can then be used by researchers of autonomous systems in their research to speed up progress.
