	Workshop on Robotic Planning and Execution (Workshop WS5)

 	     at IEEE Int'l Conf. on Robotics and Automation
		       (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

	      Saturday, April 27, 1996, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This workshop will investigate the growing field of intelligent robotic
systems, focusing on the way in which task-level planning and
deliberation methods can be interfaced to real-world robotic execution
and control environments. Workshop topics will span robotic control
methods, reactive behaviors, planning technologies, and architectural
designs for interfacing or combining these approaches. The workshop
presentations will focus on identifying the impact that real-world
execution has on planning methodologies, and the interface issues that
must be addressed to effectively combine the advantages of classical
robotic control, reactive systems, and planning systems. Specific
workshop topics include:

 1. Reactive control, execution sequencing, execution monitoring; 
 2. Planning with explicit consideration of plan execution, including: 
      - Planning reactions 
      - Planning with uncertainty & missing information 
      - Contingency planning 
      - Incremental/any-time/transformational planning 
      - Planning & scheduling sensory activity 
 3. Replanning or recovery from execution failures; 
 4. Integrated planning and reaction; 
 5. Architectures for interfacing planning and reaction; and 
 6. Real-time issues in planning & reaction. 

The workshop speakers represent a strong blend of industrial and
academic researchers who will discuss state-of-the-art solution methods
they are pursuing. In addition, they will participate in workshop
panels which will attempt to develop agreement on valuable shared
concepts and approaches to the challenge of integrating planning
methods with robotic execution and control technologies.
