How do robots know what to do?For this question, Touretzkynotes that "Autonomous robot behaviors are mechanisms constructed from carefully designed algorithms and representations."He refers to state machines and event-based architectures as examples of the techniques that are used to program complex control schemes for autonomous robots. Non-blocking programming techniques are also critical for enabling multiple, independent timingschemes and quasi-simultaneous execution, both typical in complex systems. Non-blockingcontrol of timing is addressed in the following two articles, which you should read carefu
