Abstract. We present a formal framework where a nonmonotonic formalism (the action description language C+) is used to provide robots with high-level reasoning, such as planning, in the style of cognitive robotics. In particular, we introduce a novel method that bridges the high-level discrete action planning and the lowlevel continuous behavior by trajectory planning. We show the applicability of this framework on two LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots, in an action domain that involves concurrent execution of actions that cannot be serialized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
