Error Detection and Recovery for Robot Motion Planning with Uncertainty.

Bruce Randall Donald · DSpace@MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) · 1987

Robots must plan and execute tasks in the presence of uncertainty. Uncertainty arises from sensing errors, control errors, and uncertainty in the geometry of the environment. The last, which is called model error, has received little previous attention. We present a framework for computing motion strategies that are guaranteed to succeed in the presence of all three kinds of uncertainty. The motion strategies comprise sensor-based gross motions, compliant motions, and simple pushing motions.
