A Learning Architecture for Intelligent Behavior in a Robot
Joseph Lewis and George Luger

We present a computational architecture for modeling intelligent behavior in a specific problem domain. Ours is a learning architecture that embraces a dynamical, embodied notion of intelligence relying on self-organizing emergent p rocesses. We discuss autopoeitic systems, those systems whose components are engaged in an ongoing process of mutual self-maintenance. We believe autopoeisis to be an essential characte ristic of intelligent systems. Structural coupling, or the capacity of the internal dynamics of an autopoeitic system to adapt to its changing environment, enables the architecture to utilize emergent representations of its environment. This representation makes possible further adaptive behavior. We describe the architecture in detail along with methods of development and training for a specific domain. We use our robot control architecture, Madcat (Lewis & Luger 2000), as an instantiated example of this architecture.
