TLDR
This article introduces the KnowRob knowledge processing system, a system specifically designed to provide autonomous robots with the knowledge needed for performing everyday manipulation tasks, and evaluates the system’s scalability and present different integrated experiments that show its versatility and comprehensiveness.Abstract:
Autonomous service robots will have to understand vaguely described tasks, such as âset the tableâ or âclean upâ. Performing such tasks as intended requires robots to fully, precisely, and appropriately parameterize their low-level control programs. We propose knowledge processing as a computational resource for enabling robots to bridge the gap between vague task descriptions and the detailed information needed to actually perform those tasks in the intended way. In this article, we introduce the KnowRob knowledge processing system that is specifically designed to provide autonomous robots with the knowledge needed for performing everyday manipulation tasks. The system allows the realization of âvirtual knowledge basesâ: collections of knowledge pieces that are not explicitly represented but computed on demand from the robot's internal data structures, its perception system, or external sources of information. This article gives an overview of the different kinds of knowledge, the different inference mechanisms, and interfaces for acquiring knowledge from external sources, such as the robot's perception system, observations of human activities, Web sites on the Internet, as well as Web-based knowledge bases for information exchange between robots. We evaluate the system's scalability and present different integrated experiments that show its versatility and comprehensiveness.read more

Automated Planning and Acting
TL;DR: This book presents a comprehensive paradigm of planning and acting using the most recent and advanced automated-planning techniques, and explains the computational deliberation capabilities that allow an actor to reason about its actions, choose them, organize them purposefully, and act deliberately to achieve an objective.

Statistical Relational Artificial Intelligence: Logic, Probability, and Computation
TL;DR: This book focuses on two representations in detail: Markov logic networks, a relational extension of undirected graphical models and weighted first-order predicate calculus formula, and Problog, a probabilistic extension of logic programs that can also be viewed as a Turing-complete relational extensions of Bayesian networks.
