Abstract

This paper considers the behavior planning of robots deployed to act autonomously in highly dynamic environments. For such environments and complex tasks, model-based planning requires relatively complex world models to capture all relevant dependencies. The efficient generation of decisions, such that realtime requirements are met, has to be based on suitable means to handle complexity. This paper proposes a hierarchical architecture to vertically decompose the decision space. The layers of the architecture comprise methods for adaptation, action planning, and control, where each method operates on appropriately detailed models of the robot and its environment. The approach is illustrated for the example of robotic motion planning.
