The Subsumption Architecture Machine (SAM) was built
by Jeremy Laycock and myself as the third year
project for our BSc degrees. The picture here shows
SAM in the First Robot Olympics held at the
Turing Institue, Glasgow 1990. Entered in the wall
following catagory SAM won a Silver medal against
unfair Japanese competition.
SAM was built to explore the Subsumption Architecture, a control architecture put forward by Rodney Brooks of MIT.
