Within the design of control architectures for complex autonomous systems, like robotic- or manufacturing systems a number of requirements have to be taken into consideration. These systems shall be able to receive and process commands on a high level of abstraction. During the processing they must be able to adapt to environmental changes autonomously. This paper presents the design of an agent-oriented control architecture for the rehabilitation robotic system FRIEND. Emphasis of the contribution is the detailed description of the reactive layer and its integration into the presented multi-layer architecture.
