Buzz, An Instantiation of a Schema-Based Reactive Robotic System

The Georgia Tech entry to the AAAI Mobile Robot Competition, a schema-based reactive robotic system, is described. New developments are presented including the introduction of two novel behaviors probe and avoid-past, specialized planning and sensing strategies, and a transputer implementation of the reactive control system.
