Abstract :
One of the difficult aspects of building an autonomous system, such as a service robot, is representing the plans needed to carry out tasks in unstructured environments. We outline the plans used by the University of Chicago entry in the 1994 AAAI robot competition. The robot was controlled using the Animate Agent Architecture, and the skills and RAPs presented constitute its task knowledge
