Abstract

Steering behaviors are a set of reactive algorithms used for navigating autonomous agents in their environment. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to create complex, interesting and lifelike movement. However, special care has to be given to their arbitration. If done the wrong way, the arbitration can lead to suboptimal, undesired, or even catastrophic results in certain situations.This article presents a solution to these problems by introducing inverse steering behaviors (ISBs) for controlling physical agents. Inverse steering behaviors change the original concept of steering behaviors and facilitate improved arbitration between different options by using cost based heuristics. The approach is demonstrated on a soccer playing agent.
