Environmental support method for intelligent robots - movement decision method of robots based on reliability and trial time

Recently the activity of robots has been remarkable, and robots are branching out into general environment such as home or office. Although robots are active, planners uniquely decide the action method of robots when robots operate missions. Therefore, the most suitable approach is not assured. So, in this report we propose a method that we evaluate robots' actions from the viewpoint of both reliability and time, when robots operate missions. Then we calculate the most suitable approach for robots. To be concrete, by using a diagram we evaluate robots' actions and calculate the most suitable approach. In addition, we evaluate them not from all the actions immediately, but from the action units by making an evaluation index. So, we can shorten the time for evaluation. Finally, we realize the operations by a real robot with the most appropriate approach.
