Popis: To reach autonomy of a robot system, the robot needs to be able to adapt itself to the changing environment. One of the key capabilities required for such a system is exception handling. We realized exception handling mechanisms for autonomous robots with a Procedural Expert System (PES). The work described in this paper is based on the Exception Handling Model (EHM), a model describing the handling of exceptions within the framework of an a priori plan. Exception handling provides the robot with capabilities to monitor its operations. Upon the detection of an exception, a diagnosis can be performed which leads to a classification of the exception at hand. Task rescheduling and recovery planning is performed based on heuristic knowledge of the application. Modelling of a robot assembly application and the realization of EHM with PES are described in the paper.
