Robotic systems operating in human environments must reason about how object interactions evolve over time, which actions are currently being performed, and what manipulation step is likely to follow. Classical enriched Semantic Event…
State abstraction is an effective technique for planning in robotics environments with continuous states and actions, long task horizons, and sparse feedback. In object-oriented environments, predicates are a particularly useful form of…
