Abstract
This paper proposes a new approach for the design of intelligent mobile robot architectures exhibiting behaviour emergence.
A robot is described by a set of tasks whose accomplishment may be necessary to satisfy the robot objectives. The inovation consists on using variable structure stochastic automata agregates, as decision mechanisms.
A mobile robot reaching for a target in an environment which may contain several obstacles, hiding or not the target, is simulated.
