Combined Task and Motion Planning for Mobile Manipulation

摘要

We present a hierarchical planning system and its application to robotic manipulation. The novel features of the system are: 1) it finds high-quality kinematic solutions to task-level problems; 2) it takes advantage of subtask-specific irrelevance information, reusing optimal solutions to state-abstracted sub-problems across the search space. We briefly describe how the system handles uncertainty during plan execution, and present results on discrete problems as well as pick-and-place tasks for a mobile robot.
