Attributes of The Architecture
The main advantages of the methodology are:
- the modularity,
- the emphasis on iterative development & testing of real-time systems in their target domain, and
- the emphasis on connecting limited, task-specific perception directly to the expressed actions that require it.
These innovations allowed the development of the first robots capable of animal-like speeds.
The main disadvantages of this model are:
- the inability to have many layers, since the goals begin interfering with each other,
- the difficulty of designing action selection through highly distributed system of inhibition and suppression, and
- the consequent rather low flexibility at runtime.
