A Hybrid Deliberative Layer for Robotic Agents Fusing DL Reasoning w

The Hybrid Deliberative Layer (HDL) solves the problem that an intelligent agent faces in dealing with a large amount of information which may or may not be useful in generating a plan to achieve a goal. The information, that an agent may need, is acquire

Foreword

Cognitive robots are all over the place. Well, at least that is what it looks like in research lab agendas on the planet. Some basic and fundamental problems in controlling mobile robots have been quite well understood in recent years: Localization and map building are chief examples. Now, as autonomous mobility as such is much less of a challenge, research resumes an activity that has started about half a century ago in mainstream AI; that got out of the AI mainstream for a while, as other challenges turned out to offer solutions faster; that got a little mocked for some time (“good old-fashioned AI”, gofai); yet that has remained a fascinating scientific problem, and
