Subdomain „Motion Planning“

Motion Planning covers collision-free trajectory planning for mobile platforms as well as robot actuators. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 5 in the Handbook of Robotics.

Scenario Building

In the Scenario Building phase, environment features, constraints and characteristics are defined. Furthermore, the robot's task is defined. This includes the specification of customer acceptance tests to be performed in the specified and potentially generalized environment.

Functional Design

In the Functional Design phase, hardware requirements and top-level functionalities are derived based on the scenario definition. Furthermore, top-level functionalities are decomposed and dependencies among them are identified. Also an initial functional design stating which functionalities interact with each other is developed.

Platform Building

In the Platform Building phase, the robot hardware is determined. This includes the selection and potential configuration of robot's sensors and actuators meeting the requirements defined in the functional design phase.

Capability Building

In the Capability Building phase, basic and composite components are constructed up to the application-level and constraints for their deployment are specified. This also includes the specification and eventually generation of additional knowledge required for component execution such as knowledge bases and training data.

Product Maintenance

In the Product Maintenance phase, the robot application is operated and maintained. This includes eventually the analysis of log files and the tuning of system parameters.
