I've not read Brooks and I have no idea what BBR is. So I can't
comment directly no why that might have stalled since I have no idea
what it is.

BBR = behavior-based robotics.

Brooks = Dr. Rodney Brooks, of MIT, who championed the concept and made
it relatively popular today. He didn't "invent" it, but he added some
additional elements (i.e. subsumption) that were supposed to enhance
the viability of behaviors as an AI model, especially in small robots
where computational power is limited.

Curt was just in some sort of mind block ;-). Abbreviation BBR has been
used in 1/2 the posts on this thread, give or take. I'm sure he's read
1/2 of Brooks' papers too.

I've only skimmed a few of them and I've not read the book that was
mentioned here. So much to read.... :) But yes, I know of Brook's work
for sure. I just haven't read it in detail and I'm not familiar with the
term behavior-based robotics.
