Motion Generators Combined with Behavior Trees: A Novel Approach to Skill Modelling

Rovida, Francesco ; Wuthier, David LU ; Grossmann, Bjarne ; Fumagalli, Matteo and Krüger, Volker LU orcid (2018) p.5964-5971
Abstract
Task level programming based on skills has often been proposed as a mean to decrease programming complexity of industrial robots. Several models are based on encapsulating complex motions into self-contained primitive blocks. A semantic skill is then defined as a deterministic sequence of these primitives. A major limitation is that existing frameworks do not support the coordination of concurrent motion primitives with possible interference. This decreases their reusability and scalability in unstructured environments where a dynamic and reactive adaptation of motions is often required. This paper presents a novel framework that generates adaptive behaviors by modeling skills as concurrent motion primitives activated dynamically when... (More)
