Note:
The course introduces techniques for knowledge representation and reasoning. The topics covered are:
The proseminar will be on different (sub-)topics from artificial intelligence. We largely follow the lines of the well known textbook by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig “Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach”.
In this seminar we will study plan generation and plan execution in robotic domains. While planning deals with the problem of finding suitable actions to accomplish a certain goal, plan execution and monitoring on robots come with additional problems: The agent’s knowledge is no longer complete, the environment may change during plan execution, humans and other agents may interfere with the agent’s actions, and resource and temporal constraints need to be honored. The plan executive needs to execute actions physically on a robot, adapt to changes during execution, and repair the current plan or replan if necessary. In this seminar, we will look at various methods to deal with those problems and we will investigate how these methods are applied on real-world robotic systems.
