Common Sense Planning Applied To Grasping And Manipulating
David R. Dodds · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1987
Fuzzy functions, a major key to inexact reasoning, are described as they are applied to planning/grasping. Fractals, in the form of Mandelbrot's Brown line-to-line function are used along with fuzzy functions to describe smoothness, etc. A discussion of knowledge-based systems and common sense includes representation of concepts from the naive physics. Knowledge-based inexact reasoning is used to derive common sense plans based on principles from naive physics.
