Planning with Sensing for a Mobile Robot

Giuseppe De Giacomo, Luca Iocchi, Daniele Nardi, and Riccardo Rosati

Proc. of the European Conference on Planning (ECP-97)

We present an attempt to reconcile the theoretical work on reasoning about action with the realization of agents, in particular mobile robots. Specifically, we present a logical framework for representing dynamic systems based on description logics, which allows for the formalization of sensing actions. We address the generation of conditional plans by defining a suitable reasoning method in which a plan is extracted from a constructive proof of a query expressing a given goal. We also present an implementation of such a logical framework, which has been tested on the mobile robot "Tino".
