Dynamic rules added to PILOT

For many years, the LIMI and the ENSIETA team have been working on a new language, suited to remote-control robots. This language called PILOT (programming and interpreted language of actions for telerobotics), allows the operator to modify easily a plan or to intervene in a mission during its execution due to its visual and interpreted features. A new module, called rules supervisor has been designed to add dynamically new actions or to change on line the rules which are managing the actions. After describing the language PILOT, the main part of the paper discusses the rules supervisor. In conclusion, advantages of the new approach are underlined and a short description of the new mobile robot is given
