Abstract

This paper propos es a new planning approach that authorizes an autonomous robot to reason about the inaccuracy of th e world description and of its possible evolutions. We represent the uncertainty with the possibility theory; this allows us to distinguish between two types of nondeterminism: a non-determinism from insufficient modeling and a non-determinism from uncertainty. Besides, we introduce perception actions as well as a model of the environment dynamics through "contingent events". Finally, we present an implemented experimental planner , based on Graphp l an search paradigm . This plann er is ab le to produce plans that are robust with respect to contingent events, and whose goal-achieving ability is evaluated a priori. The obtained plans can be conformant or conditional depending on the context and the user requirements.
