Abstract:
This paper addresses the practical challenges that engineers encounter when
designing autonomous mobile robots. The
issues faced are multi
-disciplinary in
nature and become exponentially more co
mplex as the behavioural diversity and
robustness requirements of the robot are in
creased. In response to the need for a
highly effective generalised suite of pr
inciples to aid the design of autonomous
machines, a set of eight practical desi
gn guidelines are proposed. These principles
directly complement the embodied design principles which represent one of the
most complete design methodologies developed to date. The effectiveness of
these principles is qualitatively assessed through direct comparison of a robot
platform designed using these principles with an analogous platform which was
not.
