• Abstract: In order to solve complex, long-horizon tasks, intelligent robots need to carry out high-level, abstract planning and reasoning in conjunction with motion planning. However, abstract models are typically lossy and plans or policies computed using them can be inexecutable. These problems are exacerbated in stochastic situations where the robot needs to reason about and plan for multiple contingencies. We present a new approach for integrated task and motion planning in stochastic settings. In contrast to prior work in this direction, we show that our approach can effectively compute integrated task and motion policies whose branching structures encode agent behaviors that handle multiple execution-time contingencies. We prove that our algorithm is probabilistically complete and can compute feasible solution policies in an anytime fashion so that the probability of encountering an unresolved contingency decreases over time. Empirical results on a set of challenging problems show the utility and scope of our method.

  Task And Motion Planning (TAMP) is the problem of finding a solution to an automated planning problem. We propose a general and open-source framework for modeling and benchmarking TAMP problems. We introduce an innovative meta-technique to solve TAMP problems involving moving agents and multiple task-state-dependent obstacles.

  We propose a combined task and motion planning approach to optimize sequencing, assignment, and execution of tasks. The framework relies on decoupling tasks and actions, where an action is one possible geometric realization of a symbolic task. We demonstrate the approach effectiveness in a collaborative manufacturing scenario, in which a robotic arm and a human worker shall assemble a mosaic.

  Planning to solve any specific task using an open-scope world model is computationally intractable. We propose task scoping: a method that exploits knowledge of the initial condition, goal condition, and transition-dynamics structure of a task. We prove that task scoping never deletes relevant factors or actions, characterize its computational complexity, and characterize the planning problems for which it is especially useful.
