DARPA Mobile Autonomous Robot SoftwareLeslie Pack Kaelbling; July 1999

Intelligent Adaptive Mobile Robots• Make robot learning practical by

integration with human-supplied knowledge

• Solve huge problems through continuous reframing

• Achieve robustness by explicit uncertainty modeling and information gathering

• Dec 1999. Robot learning more efficient than human programming alone for hallway navigation.

• March 2000. Vision-based navigation in realistic simulation.

• June 2000. Robot learning more efficient for complex robot task.

• Dec 2000. Extended operation in highly complex surveillance and delivery domain.

• Fast development of robust, agile mobile robot software

• Robots capable of extended operations in complex, uncertain multi-objective domains
