Abstract
Online planning agents can adapt to the dynamic environment by continuously modifying plans during the plan execution. However, robotics agents working in the real environment cannot obtain necessary information from the outer world by simply turning all sensors on while executing a plan. This paper shows a new background sensing control method by which planning agents can effectively observe the real environment and obtain important information when necessary during the plan execution.
