Group van de Molengraft focusses on the design of autonomous systems that are robust-by-design against the variations that can occur during task execution. The research aims at developing methods for world modelling that exploit the available prior knowledge on task, environment and robot. Such world models allow for robust decision making and control during task execution. A specific aspect of our approach is “laziness”: use feedforward control when possible, use feedback control when needed. Open-loop guarded motion is used where world-model based monitors guard the important conditions and trigger transition events.
