DESCRIPTION:In what ways can we integrate multiple types of sensing and ac
 tion in a robot? This question gets to the heart of deep issues in AI such
  as the nature and use of representations\, and the control of the flow of
  information in a cognitive architecture. In this talk I will describe som
 e work we are doing on architectures for cognitive robots. I will describe
  an architectural schema we have developed\, a toolkit for developing robo
 t systems using it\, examples of robot systems that we have built\, and so
 me of the problems that arise if the schema is accepted. These include fou
 r research problems which we refer to as the problems of binding\; filteri
 ng\; processing management and action fusion. I will describe our current 
 approaches to the first three\, with a focus on using existing approaches 
 POMDP planning to solving a simple processing management problem in vision
 . If I have time I will also say what I think is wrong with all this\, and
  where it needs to go.
