Dexterous manipulation is an important function for working robots. Manipulator tasks such as grasping, assembly and disassembly can generally be divided into several motion primitives. We call such motion primitives "skills" and explain how most manipulator tasks can be composed of sequences of these skills. We will address the issues involved with various types of robots such as maintenance robots and service robots. We have considered hierarchizing the manipulation tasks of these robots since their tasks have become more complex than ever before. Additionally, as errors are seen likely to increase in complex tasks, it is important to implement effective error recovery technology. This paper presents our proposal for a new type of error recovery that uses the concepts of task stratification and error classification which can be expressed specifically using flow charts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
