Abstract

This paper explores some of the problems encountered when attempting to apply AI techniques within the domain of industrial robotics. The use of planning techniques is investigated through experiments with two classic AI paradigms. The limitations of these methods areexplored by contrasting the knowledge contained in the case studies with that available in realistic industrial applications. A criticism of the blocks world model is used to highlight the important features of real robot tasks and recommend directions for future development.
