Khepera 2 robot
• 60 mm diameter, 30 mm height, approx. 70 grams • eight infrared sensors to sense both ambient light levels and proximity to nearby objects • two DC motors
• on-board Motorola 68331 (25MHz) processor • 512 KB RAM, 512 KB Flash memory programmable via serial port • rechargeable NiMH batteries: aprox. 60 minutes of autonomy

Webots simulator
• It is a 3D realistic professional simulator that allows to build virtual worlds with objects and robots with different physical properties.
• It provides a considerable number of interfaces with real robots: " " " " "
Khepera Hemisson Lego Mindstorms Aibo etc.

Motivation ! ! !
To develop deliberative agents to control the robots coordination. To support knowledge representation and high-level reasoning. To hide low-level robot-computer communication being able of concentrating on the high-level problem specification.

Motivating example: situation 1

Motivating example: situation 1 !
!
Both the camera and the proximity sensors detect a white object. camera_detects(white) and prox_sensor_detects(white) succeed, and the following conflicting arguments can be obtained:
11
Motivating example: situation 2 ! !
Only camera_detects(white) holds. The argument A2 can not be constructed and therefore, the answer for move_forward will be YES, providing reasons for moving forward.

The target is ahead, but there is an obstacle to avoid. camera_detects(white) and prox_sensor_detects(black) hold. The argument A1 can be obtained but A2 can not.

Motivating example: situation 3 ! !
A3, a new proper defeater for A1, appears. A4 provides a warrant for turn.
