Abstract:We analyze simple everyday actions with a view to developing strategies that an intelligent robot can use to perform these same actions. The domain of tasks studied are in the class of simple machine type of actions involving hand tools. The tool is assumed to be composed of two principal geometric primitives that serve as the handle and the output end respectively. A task is modeled as an operation on a target object by the tool. This desired effect determines a motion trajectory for the output end of the too… Show more
