Negotiating Mission Plans under Risk Bounds

Abstract

The general problem considered is automated planning and execution for autonomous systems in highly dynamic environments. Because the environment is uncertain, robust “plans” for such systems will never be a simple sequence of fixed instructions – there will always be an element of dynamism, with some decisions deferred to the on-line plan execution phase. The property that they want to ensure in the off-line, planning phase is controllability – roughly speaking, that under any contingency, the on-line plan executive will be able to make its decisions in such a way that user constraints on the system are satisfied.
