A Review of Description Logic-Based Techniques for Robot Task Planning

Planning and scheduling problems have become a promising area of research in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). In order to provide collision avoidance and enable successful completion of the task, the robot requires sophisticated knowledge about the environment for processing the tasks or methods. Knowledge representation and reasoning (KR & R) techniques provide such a level of knowledge to perceive the task environment. These techniques include description logic (DL) and ontology-based approaches. DL provides low-level knowledge to describe an environment. With advances in KR using ontology, high-level knowledge domain descriptions can be obtained more effectively. Knowledge representation techniques aid in temporal, ontological and spatial reasoning in a modeled environment. In this chapter, low-level KR & R techniques for task planning are summarized.
