RoboEarth Action Recipe Execution

  • Chapter
Book cover Intelligent Autonomous Systems 12

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 193))

Abstract

The ability of reusing existing task execution plans is an important step towards autonomous behavior. Today, the reuse of sophisticated services allowing robots to act autonomous is usually limited to identical robot platforms and to very similar application scenarios. The approach presented in this paper proposes a way to mitigate this limitation by storing and reusing task plans on a global accessible database. We describe the task execution engine for the RoboEarth project to demonstrate its ability to execute tasks in a flexible and reliable way.
