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.

Famous quotes containing the words attributes of, attributes and/or architecture:
“God is the efficient cause not only of the existence of things, but also of their essence.
Corr. Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
“No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
