Could someone who knows please explain the meaning of the term 
'subsumption architecture'. It crops up every now and then but I've
never seen any discussion of what it's about. The only thing I recall
is that it's used in autonomous robotic systems. 

Anyone care to explain about it further ?

Steve Collyer.
