- Despite the progress made in planning androbotics, autonomous plan execution on a robot remainschallenging. One of the problems is that (classical) plannersuse abstract models which are disconnected from the sensorand actuation information available during execution. Thisconnection is typically created in a non-systematic way by somesystem-specific execution software. In this paper we proposeto explicitly represent Execution Knowledge that encodes theconnection between planning models and the actual actionsand observations for a given physical system. We present anexecution monitoring framework in which Execution Knowl-edge captures the expectations about physical plan execution.A violation of these expectations indicates an execution failure.

- Robots are expected to carry out complex plans in real world environments. This requires the robot to track the progress of plan execution and detect failures which may occur. Planners use very abstract world models to generate plans. Additional causal, temporal, categorical knowledge about the execution, which is not included in the planner's model, is often available. Can we use this knowledge to increase robustness of execution and provide early failure detection? We propose to use a dedicated Execution Model to monitor the executed plan based on runtime observations and rich execution knowledge. We show that the combined used of causal, temporal and categorical knowledge allows the robot to detect failures even when the effects of actions are not directly observable. A dedicated Execution model also introduces a degree of modularity, since the platform- and execution-specific knowledge does not need to be encoded into the planner.

- Real-world robotic systems have to deal with uncertain and dynamic environments to reliably perform tasks. State-of-the-art cognitive robotic systems use an abstract symbolic representation of the real world that is used for high level reasoning. Some aspects of the world, such as object dynamics, are inherently difficult to capture in an abstract symbolic form, yet they influence whether the executed action will succeed or fail. This paper presents an integrated system that uses a physics-based simulation for predicting robot action results and durations, combined with a Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planner and semantic execution monitoring. We describe a fully integrated system performing functional imagination, which is essentially contributed by a Semantic Execution Monitor (SEM). Based on information obtained from functional imagination, the robot control decides whether it is necessary to adapt the plan that is currently being executed. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate PR2 able of carrying objects on a tray without the objects toppling. Our approach achieves this by considering the robot and object dynamics in simulation. A validation shows that robot action results in simulation can be transferred to the real world. The system improves on state-of-the-art AI plan-based systems by feeding simulated prediction results back into the execution system.
