Representing , Learning , and Executing Operational Concepts

On the one hand side operational concepts enable the user to get information about what a robot has been done and on the other hand side, they enable the user to control the robot. In this way, they function as elements of a high level command language, easy to understand by human users. Operational concepts should be general enough to be applied in di erent but similar environments like o ce rooms even if the environment is totally unknown. They combine sensing and action of a mobile robot situated in the real world without the need of additional environmental knowledge. In this paper, we complete the representation of operational concepts and show, how this work is combined with results presented previously. Furthermore, we sketch the learning of concept descriptions to reach a high adaptivity of the robot and we suggest the application of these concepts for planning and control.
