Abstract : In this paper, we propose a novel approach to behavior-based control, which combines fuzzy logic with multiple objective decision theory. Fuzzy logic provides powerful tools for formulating sophisticated behavior-based systems for robot control. However, it suffers from problems associated with resolving behavioral conflicts, which are mainly due to the deficiencies of fuzzy inferencing techniques. Hence we propose to formulate the inferencing mechanism using a multiple objective decision-theoretic approach, which provides formal tools for behavior coordination and resolving conflicts in a principled manner. Preliminary experimental results are reported. 1,
