On the response of EMT-based control to interacting targets and models

A novel control mechanism was recently introduced based on Extended Markov Tracking (EMT) [9, 10]. In this paper, we present a study of its response to multiple interacting control goals. We show a simple extension that can be integrated into EMT-based control, and which provides it with the ability to handle several behavioral targets. Experimental support for the validity of this extension is provided. We also describe an experiment with a simulated robot, where EMT-based controllers interact and interfere indirectly via the environment. Experiments support the resilience of multiagent EMT-based team control to potential conflicts that may appear within a team.
