Development Phase „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.

Sensing and Estimation

Sensing and Estimation ranges from robot-state estimation for feedback control to task-oriented interpretation of sensor data of any kind. Apart from estimation techniques, this category also covers different kinds of information representations. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 4 in the Handbook of Robotics.

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.

Architectures and Programming

Architectures and Programming refers to the way a robotic system is designed on the software-level. It can be divided into architectural structure and architectural style. The structure is represented by how the system is split up into subsystems and how they interact with each other. The style however addresses the underlying computational concepts. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 8 in the Handbook of Robotics.
Due to its large number of entries, the Architectures and Programming subdomain is further subdivided into its disciplines, see Architectures and Programming Disciplines.

Reasoning Methods

Reasoning Methods focuse on symbol-based reasoning and knowledge representation. It covers logic- as well as probability-based approaches. Furthermore, this category also addresses learning, such as inductive logic learning, neuronal networks and reinforcement learning. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 9 in the Handbook of Robotics.
