Brooks April 1986 paper is the seminal work which describes his subsumption
architecture.  The other papers describe a whole range of mobile robots
(mobots) which they have running around in their lab.  Maes paper describes
the extensions which she has developed to add learning capabilities to the
subsumption architecture.
