# Towards Automatic Error Recovery in Robot Programs

## Abstract

Unexpected events can cause the failure of apparently "correct" robot programs . The interaction with the real world and its unpredictability make the problem of error recovery in robot programming specially important . The goal of the paper is to present a general framework in which the activity of error recovery can be automated . This is accomplished by introducing a monitor program which identifies the appearance of any error and attempt to correct that error . The correction is done using a knowledge base where the knowledge that the user has about er ·ror identification and correction is expressed in symbolic form . An inference mechanism allows extension of this knowledge base for use in complex and unanticipated situations .
