Raising Expectations in GDA Agents Acting in Dynamic Environments

چکیده
Goal-driven autonomy (GDA) agents reason about goals while introspectively examining if their course of action matches their expectations. Many GDA agents adopt a hierarchical planning model to generate plans but limit reasoning with expectations to individual actions or projecting the expected state. In this paper we present a relaxation of this limitation. Taking advantage of hierarchical planning principles, our GDA agent elicits expectations that not only validate the next action but the overall plan trajectory without requiring validation against the complete state. We report on (1) a formalization of GDA’s expectations that covers trajectories, (2) an implementation of these ideas and (3) benchmarking on two domains used in the GDA literature.

Informed Expectations to Guide GDA Agents in Partially Observable Environments
Goal Driven Autonomy (GDA) is an agent model for reasoning about goals while acting in a dynamic environment. Since anomalous events may cause an agent’s current goal to become invalid, GDA agents monitor the environment for such anomalies. When domains are both partially observable and dynamic, agents must reason about sensing and planning actions. Previous GDA work evaluated agents in domains...
متن کاملLearning from Demonstration for Goal-Driven Autonomy
Goal-driven autonomy (GDA) is a conceptual model for creating an autonomous agent that monitors a set of expectations during plan execution, detects when discrepancies occur, builds explanations for the cause of failures, and formulates new goals to pursue when planning failures arise. While this framework enables the development of agents that can operate in complex and dynamic environments, i...
متن کاملGoal-Driven Autonomy in Planning and Acting
To operate autonomously in complex environments, agents must perform actions, sense the environment, and respond to new situations. Traditional approaches face difficulties with incomplete environment models, goal specification, and engineering domain specific control knowledge. We believe goal reasoning will address these challenges enabling agents to better respond to unexpected circumstances...
متن کاملLUIGi: A Goal-Driven Autonomy Agent Reasoning with Ontologies
In this paper we present LUIGi, a goal-driven autonomy (GDA) agent that uses ontological representations. Like other GDA agents, LUIGi reasons about (1) its own expectations when following a course of action, (2) the discrepancies between these expectations and actual situations encountered, (3) explanations for those discrepancies and (4) new goals based on the explanations. Unlike other GDA a...
متن کاملGoal-Driven Autonomy with Semantically-Annotated Hierarchical Cases
We present LUiGi-H a goal-driven autonomy (GDA) agent. Like other GDA agents it introspectively reasons about its own expectations to formulate new goals. Unlike other GDA agents, LUiGi-H uses cases consisting of hierarchical plans and semantic annotations of the expectations of those plans. Expectations indicate conditions that must be true when parts of the plan are executed. Using an ontolog...
