In this paper, three actions in the reflexive layer of a hybrid deliberative/reflexive control architecture are discussed. The layer consists of resources, actions, an action coordinator and motion controller. Every resource works independently. To improve the real-time characteristics, a set of simplified actions and an action coordinator are designed using functions provided in the RTAI(Real-Time Application Interface for Linux) environment. Also, an obstacle avoidance algorithm using the geometric relationship between the robot and obstacles is proposed. The effectiveness and the real-time characteristic of the proposed reflexive mechanism are verified through computer simulations and experimental results using organized scenarios.
