Abstract

Robots execute their planned actions in the physical world to accomplish their goals. However, since the real world is partially observable and dynamic, failures may occur during the execution of their actions. These failures should be detected immediately, and the underlying reasons of these failures should be isolated to ensure robustness. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic and temporal model-based failure isolation method that maintains Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models (HHMMs) in order to represent and reason about different failure types. The underlying reason of a failure can be isolated efficiently by multi-hypothesis tracking.
