Abstract

We present a system that can determine temporal scheduling of actions of an autonomous mobile robot by constructing a plan taking into account temporal constraints. Both qualitative and metric temporal information are represented in a constraint based network. Planning tasks are performed on the basis of the knowledge derived by this temporal knowledge representation system. Ordering temporally qualified actions falls out from maintaining temporal consistency. We applied it to plan under temporal constraints the actions of a manipulator mounted on a mobile platform in the case of the maintenance intervention over a hydraulic circuit.
