Robot Task Planning with Contingencies for Run-time Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we present a general approach to task planning based on contingent planning and run-time sensing, which forms part of a robot task planning framework called KVP. Using the general-purpose PKS planner, we model information-gathering actions at plan time that have multiple possible outcomes at run time. As a result, perception and sensing arise as necessary preconditions for manipulation, rather than being hard-coded as a task itself. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on two simple scenarios covering visual and force sensing, and discuss its applicability to more general tasks in automation and mobile manipulation, involving arbitrary numbers of sensors and manipulators.

Knowledge-Level Planning for Robot Task Planning and Human-Robot Interaction
A robot operating in a real-world domain often needs to do so with incomplete information about the state of the world. A robot with the ability to sense the world can also gather information to generate plans with contingencies, allowing it to reason about the outcome of sensed data at plan time. Moreover, the type of information sensed can vary greatly between domains; for instance, domains i...
متن کاملPlanning Time: A Mediating Technique between Fluency and Accuracy in Task-Based Teaching
Task-based instruction is arguably associated with fostering fluent L2 speech distant from native-like accuracy. Of several methodological options recommended for accounting for accuracy problems of meaning-first approaches to language teaching, planning time has been explored in this study. Three groups of English majors watched a cartoon and narrated their accounts of watching under no-planni...
متن کاملA Switching Planner for Combined Task and Observation Planning
From an automated planning perspective the problem of practical mobile robot control in realistic environments poses many important and contrary challenges. On the one hand, the planning process must be lightweight, robust, and timely. Over the lifetime of the robot it must always respond quickly with new plans that accommodate exogenous events, changing objectives, and the underlying unpredict...
متن کاملOptimal Trajectory Planning of a Box Transporter Mobile Robot
This paper aims to discuss the requirements of safe and smooth trajectory planning of transporter mobile robots to perform non-prehensile object manipulation task. In non-prehensile approach, the robot and the object must keep their grasp-less contact during manipulation task. To this end, dynamic grasp concept is employed for a box manipulation task and corresponding conditions are obtained an...
