ICRA 2015 Workshop:
Beyond Geometric Constraints: Planning
for Solving Complex Tasks, Reducing Uncertainty, and Generating Informative Paths & Policies
May 30, 2015, 1:30-5:00, Seattle, Washington, USA
The workshop will highlight the latest advances
in resolving general robotic planning problems that march
beyond robot motion and path planning under geometric and
differential constraints. Equipped with a solid foundation in
solving fundamental tasks such sensing/perception and decision
making/motion planning, researchers have begun to
tackle issues that appear when multiple aspects of a task
must be handled simultaneously in an integrated application.
Complex interactions frequently arise due to non-linear
dependencies between the sub-problems. Alternatively, conflicting
priorities may appear when multiple robots couple
through geometric, communication, and other resource-sharing
induced constraints. In recent years, efforts geared toward
understanding such interactions have begun to pay off, as
will be made evident by the presentations at the workshop.
Nevertheless, much work remains to be done. Through invited
talks, interactive presentations of contributed work, and open
discussion sessions, the objective of the workshop is to bring
together experts to establish where we are at solving these
general planning problems, reach a better understanding of
the inherent structures that give rise to complex interactions
in such problems, pinpoint the universal and immediate key
challenges that hinder the untangling of the interactions, and
develop ideas for new techniques and algorithmic solutions for
solving these challenges. We look forward to seeing you at the ICRA 2015 workshop on Beyond Geometric Constraints: Planning for Solving Complex Tasks, Reducing Uncertainty, and Generating Informative Paths & Policies.
