Integration of Reactive Navigation with a flexible Parallel Hardware Architecture

To demonstrate the flexibility and portability of both a schema-based software architecture and a message-passing hardware architecture, the two were integrated within a very short period to be used in a mobile robot competition. The experience confirmed the advantages of onboard computational capability in mobile systems.
