In domestic settings for service robots complex tasks have to be accomplished. Those tasks benefit from deliberation, from robust action execution and from flexible methods for human-robot interaction that account for qualitative notions used in natural language as well as human fallibility. Our robot CAESAR deploys AI techniques on several levels of its system architecture. On the low-level side, system modules for localization or navigation make, for instance, use of path-planning methods, heuristic search, and Bayesian filters. For face recognition and human-machine interaction, random trees and well-known methods from natural language processing are deployed. For deliberation, we use the robot programming and plan language READYLOG, which was developed for the high-level control of agents and robots; it allows combining programming the behaviour using planning to find a course of action. READYLOG is a variant of the robot programming language Golog. We extended READYLOG to be able to cope with qualitative notions of space frequently used by humans, such as "near" and "far". This facilitates human-robot interaction by bridging the gap between human natural language and the numerical values needed by the robot. Further, we use READYLOG to increase the flexible interpretation of human commands with decision-theoretic planning. We give an overview of the different methods deployed in CAESAR and show the applicability of a system equipped with these AI techniques in domestic service robotics}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NiemuellerLakemeyerFerrein2013, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Lakemeyer, Gerhard and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {Aspects of integrating diverse software into robotic systems extended abstract}, series = {ICRA 2013 - 8th Workshop on Software Development and Integration in Robotics (SDIR), Karlsruhe, Germany}, booktitle = {ICRA 2013 - 8th Workshop on Software Development and Integration in Robotics (SDIR), Karlsruhe, Germany}, pages = {1 -- 2}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{NiemuellerLakemeyerFerreinetal.2013, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Lakemeyer, Gerhard and Ferrein, Alexander and Reuter, S. and Ewert, D. and Jeschke, S. and Pensky, D. and Karras, Ulrich}, title = {Proposal for advancements to the LLSF in 2014 and beyond}, pages = {Publ. online}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NiemuellerEwertReuteretal.2013, author = {Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Ewert, Daniel and Reuter, Sebastian and Ferrein, Alexander and Jeschke, Sabina and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {The Carologistics RoboCup Logistics Team 2013}, series = {RoboCup 2013 : Eindhoven}, booktitle = {RoboCup 2013 : Eindhoven}, organization = {Robocup <2013, Eindhoven>}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FerreinNiemuellerSchifferetal.2013, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Niem{\"u}ller, Tim and Schiffer, Stefan and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Lessons learnt from developing the embodied AI platform CAESAR for domestic service robotics}, series = {Designing intelligent robots : reintegrating AI II ; papers from the AAAI spring symposium ; [held March 25 - 27, 2013 in Palo Alto, California, USA, on the campus of Stanford University].

The novel RoboCup Logistics League Sponsored by Festo (LLSF) aims at such CPS logistic scenarios in an automation setting. A team of robots has to produce products from a number of semi-finished products which they have to machine during the game. Different production plans are possible and the robots need to recycle scrap byproducts. This way, the LLSF is a very interesting league offering a number of challenging research questions for planning, coordination, or communication in an application-driven scenario. In this paper, we outline the objectives of the LLSF and present steps for developing the league further towards a benchmark for logistics scenarios for CPS. As a major milestone we present the new automated referee system which helps in governing the game play as well as keeping track of the scored points in a very complex factory scenario.}, language = {en} } @article{SchifferFerreinLakemeyer2015, author = {Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Abstracting Away Low-Level Details in Service Robotics with Fuzzy Fluents}, series = {Model-Driven Knowledge Engineering for Improved Software Modularity in Robotics and Automation.
