There is a methodology associated with it, Behavior Oriented Design. The AmonI Software Webpage includes a) an editor (soon to become an IDE) for POSH plans b) software for executing POSH plans in python,jython & lisp, and c) software including supporting behavior libraries for two domains 1) Unreal Tournament and 2) MASON, an agent-based modelling simulation platform. A collection of robotics related links Address: » http://www.cs.indiana.edu/robotics/world.html A collection of web links related to Insect Robots Address: » http://www.cis.plym.ac.uk/cis/InsectRobotics/Resources.htm The excellent open source Player-Stage tool, ideal for multi-robot or swarm robotics simulation Address: » http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/ »Top Useful Resource Links:Quantitative Measures of Robot Behaviour - Robotics as Science at Essex UniversityAddress: » http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/udfn/Quantitative/quantitative.html Details: Work on analysing the behaviour of agents (be it robots or animals) Grid-world simulator and server Address: » http://rumpus.rubyforge.org/ Details: A grid-world simulator and server that facilitates reinforcement learning experiments »Top Journals:Connection ScienceAddress: » http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/09540091.asp Details: Connection Science is an interdisciplinary scientific and technical journal that has, since 1989, been a focus for research on connectionist modelling and neural network learning in both living and artificial systems with an emphasis on cognition and AI. Papers on these traditional themes are still strongly encouraged. However, in 2002, in response to exciting new work in evolutionary methods and adaptive robotics, its scope was broadened to include computational research on all biologically inspired adaptive mechanisms as well as all areas of biologically inspired robotics research. International Journal of Automation, Robotics and Autonomous Systems Address: » http://www.icgst.com/ARAS.html Details: The ARAS is primarily devoted to the dissemination and the provision of an effective research in areas relevant to automation, robotics, and autonomous systems. Papers are published on all aspects of theoretical analysis, from low-level processing, as in early sensory perception, to high-level symbolic data processing needed for automation and autonomous interpretation. Journal of Machine Learning Research Address: » http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/ Details: The Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) provides an international forum for the electronic and paper publication of high-quality scholarly articles in all areas of machine learning. All published papers are freely available online. Robotics and Autonomous Systems Address: » http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505622/description#description Details: Now affiliated with the Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) Society. Robotics and Autonomous Systems will carry articles describing fundamental developments in the field of robotics, with special emphasis on autonomous systems. An important goal of this journal is to extend the state of the art in both symbolic and sensory based robot control and learning in the context of autonomous systems. Robotics and Autonomous Systems will carry articles on the theoretical, computational and experimental aspects of autonomous systems, or modules of such systems. Adaptive Behavior: Animals, Animats, Software Agents, Robots, Adaptive Systems Address: » http://www.sagepub.com/journalManuscript.aspx?pid=303 Details: Relaunched in Volume 9 by SAGE Publications with a new editorial board, headed by Peter M. Todd of the Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition, Adaptive Behavior is the premier international journal for research on adaptive behaviour in animals and autonomous artificial systems. For over 10 years it has offered ethologists, psychologists, behavioural ecologists, computer scientists and robotics researchers a forum for discussing new findings and comparing insights and approaches across disciplines. The journal explores mechanisms, organizational principles, and architectures that can be expressed in computational, physical, or mathematical models. Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems Address: » http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-135-70-35711063-0,00.html Details: The main objective of the Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems is to provide a forum for the fruitful interaction of ideas and techniques that combine systems and control science with artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, and other related computer science concepts. On the application side, emphasis is given to industrial robotic systems, of course focusing on intelligent and sensory control problems. Papers on real applications of intelligent and robotic systems (mechatronics, manufacturing systems, biomedical systems, underwater, humanoid, mobile/legged robot and space applications, etc.) are most welcome. On the theoretical side, papers focusing on intelligent systems engineering, outlining new concepts and approaches in the field of intelligent systems and intelligent control are equally welcome. The journal aims at bridging the gap between theory and practice, and intends to stimulate interaction between workers carrying out theoretical and applied research in all areas of intelligent systems and robotics. Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence Address: » http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/0952813X.asp Details: Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence (JETAI) is advancing scientific research in artificial intelligence (AI) by providing a public forum for the presentation, evaluation and criticism of research results, the discussion of methodological issues, and the communication of positions, preliminary findings and research directions. JETAI features work in all subfields of AI research that adopts a scientific rather than engineering methodology, focusing on work in cognitive science, problem-solving, perception, learning, knowledge representation, memory and neural system modelling. All papers are peer-reviewed. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Address: » http://www.ieeesmc.org/publications/index.html Details: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS is published monthly in three parts. Part A, published in odd numbered months of the year, is devoted to systems and humans. Part B, published in even numbered months of the year, is devoted to cybernetics. Part C is published quarterly in February, May, August, and November. Each paper submitted to IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics is subjected to a thorough review procedure, and the publication decision is based on the reviewers' comments. Review management is generally under the direction of an associate editor. Often, reviews take three months to five months to obtain, occasionally longer, and it takes an additional several months for the publication process. »Top
