This led to the creation of several robot development frameworks to simplify this task. For each new rational behavior added to the robot, the number of events that the robot has to handle grows. Therefore, the development of the rational behaviors by using the frameworks may result in a source code which has more identifiers and large blocks of conditional statements, making difficult modularization and code reuse. This work presents a mechanism to program rational behaviors for mobile robots through the use of an agent programming language. This allows the robots programmer to develop rational behaviors using a higher level of abstraction in a modular fashion, resulting in simpler development and smaller, more readable and reusable code.", publisher = {Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Computação}, note = {Faculdade de Informática} }
