<br>
You may remember Joesph Jones as the author of "Behavior Based
Robotics", which at one time we had in the DPRG library, back when
we had a library:<br>

<br>
as well as, with Anita Flynn, the classic "Mobile Robots" <br>

<br>
which was my first introduction to subsumption. I still have my
original edition, (although my memory is that he was very unhappy

approval).<br>
<br>
cheers!<br>
