Abstract

A mechanism for planning that is based on a temporal model that emphasizes the possible relationships between tasks in the time domain is presented. A control loop is devised to build, validate, execute, and evaluate task plans. Each agent in the control loop receives feedback to ensure that robust, valid plans are prepared for execution. Status and side-effects from plan executions are evaluated and fed into the planning agent for replanning, providing an experimental architecture for autonomous operations. This mechanism has been developed to help automate maintenance and repair operations for space station Freedom
