Abstract
This paper presents a multi-agent system to organize the various processes that endow a robot with autonomy. The main objectives are to allow the achievement of a variety of missions without an explicit writing of control schemes by the developer, and the possibility to augment the robot capacities without any major rewriting. The proposed architecture relies on a partition of the decisional layer in separate resources, each one managed by a specific agent. The architecture of resource agents and their interactions to guarantee a coherent system are depicted.
