Abstract

A common goal of robot control architecture designers is to create systems that are sufficiently generic to be adapted to different robot hardware. Beyond code re-use from a software engineering standpoint, having a common architecture could lead to long-term experiments spanning multiple robots and research groups. This paper presents a first step toward this goal with HBBA, a Hybrid Behavior-Based Architecture first developed on the IRL-1 humanoid robot and integrating an Adaptive Resonance Theory-based episodic memory (EM-ART). This paper presents the first step of the adaptation of this architecture to two different robots, a Meka M-1 and a NAO from Aldebaran, with a simple scenario involving learning and sharing objects' information between both robots. The experiment shows that episodes recorded as sequences of people and objects presented to one robot can be recalled in the future on either robot, enabling event anticipation and sharing of past experiences.
