Two main challenges of robot action planning in real domains are uncertain action effects and dynamic environments. In this paper, an instance-based action model is learned empirically by robots trying actions in the environment. Modeling the action planning problem as a Markov decision process, the action model is used to build the transition function. In static environments, standard value iteration techniques are used for computing the optimal policy. In dynamic environments, an algorithm is proposed for fast replanning, which updates a subset of state-action values computed for the static environment. As a test-bed, the goal scoring task in the RoboCup 4-legged scenario is used. The algorithms are validated in the problem of planning kicks for scoring goals in the presence of opponent robots. The experimental results both in simulation and on real robots show that the instance-based action model boosts performance over using parametric models as done previously, and also incremental replanning significantly improves over original off-line planning.

Two main challenges of robot action planning in real domains
are uncertain action effects and dynamic environments.
In this paper, an instance-based action model is learned empirically
by robots trying actions in the environment. Modeling the
action planning problem as a Markov decision process,
the action model is used to build the transition function.
In static environments,
standard value iteration techniques are used for computing
the optimal policy. In dynamic environments, an algorithm is proposed
for fast replanning, which updates a subset of state-action values
computed for the static environment. As a test-bed, the
goal scoring task in the RoboCup 4-legged scenario is used.
The algorithms are validated in the problem of planning
kicks for scoring goals in the presence of opponent robots.
The experimental results both in simulation
and on real robots show that the instance-based action model boosts
performance over using parametric models as done previously, and also
incremental replanning significantly improves over original off-line planning.
