Integrating Active Perception with an Autonomous Robot Architecture

Today's robotics applications require complex, real-time, high-bandwidth sensor systems. Although many such systems have been developed [12][14][17][10], integrating them into an autonomous agent architecture remains an area of active research. We will discuss how active perception systems can be integrated with agent architectures to perform complex tasks. We present an active stereo vision system integrated with a multi-tier agent architecture onboard a mobile robot. This robot "attends to" multiple humans in a complex and unstructured indoor environment.
