      Conference lecture
      Open Access
      Assembly recipes can elegantly be represented in description logic theories. With such a recipe, the robot can figure out the next assembly step through logical inference. However, before performing an action, the robot ...
    • Automatic generation of behavior trees for the execution of robotic manipulation tasks 

      Verma, Parikshit; Diab, Mohammed; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Robots should be able to exercise reasoning in both symbolic and geometric levels in order to plan a manipulation task. The execution of such tasks needs to be robust enough to cope with real environments. In an attempt ...
    • Automating adaptive execution behaviors for robot manipulation 

      Ruiz Celada, Oriol; Verma, Parikshit; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan; Diab, Mohammed (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
      Article
      Open Access
      Robotic manipulation in semi-structured and changing environments requires systems with: a) perception and reasoning capabilities able to capture and understand the state of the environment; b) planning and replanning ...
    • Contingent task and motion planning under uncertainty for human–robot interactions 

      Akbari, Aliakbar; Rosell Gratacòs, Jan; Diab, Mohammed (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Manipulation planning under incomplete information is a highly challenging task for mobile manipulators. Uncertainty can be resolved by robot perception modules or using human knowledge in the execution process. Human ...
