Abstract:

The difficulty of task planning for robotic agents
arises from the stochastic nature of their environment and
the high cost of a failure during execution meaning frequent
replanning is required. One way to address this problem is to
make use of a pre-defined plan library. In this paper, we present
work that combines a plan library with task planning. Initial
results show that such an approach alleviates the computational
burden of synthesising plans, while providing the same level of
autonomy as using a planner that starts from scratch.
