abstract = {Autonomous systems generate different behaviors based on the perceived environmental situation. The organization of a set of behaviors plays an important role in the field of autonomous robotics. The organization architecture must be flexible, so that behavioral changes are possible if the sensory information changes. Furthermore, behavioral organization must be stable, so that small changes in sensory information do not lead to oscillations. To achieve this, all behaviors, but also the underlying organization architecture, are based on continuous dynamical systems. They are characterized by a set of dynamical variables, also referred to as state variables. These variables represent the activation or deactivation of a particular behavior. Elementary behaviors are dependent on the sensor input in a way, that changes of the sensorial information lead to qualitatively different behaviors. The so-called sensor context denotes whether a behavior is applicable in the current sensor situation or not. However, for complex systems consisting of many elementary behaviors, it is necessary to take logical conditions into account to generate a sequence of behaviors. Furthermore, some elementary behaviors can or even must run in parallel, while others exclude each other. This internal information requires knowledge about the logical interaction of the behaviors and is stored within binary matrices. This makes the overall organization structure very flexible and easy to extend. We present the architecture using the example of approaching and passing a door. The robot has to navigate from one room to another while simultaneously avoiding obstacles in its pathway.},
