What sensors suffice for a robot to solve a planning problem?
Description:
In a partially observable environment, robot collects information from the
world through its sensors, and takes actions following its plan to change the
world and achieve some goal. The sensors determine what information is observed
by the robot, while the plan determines how the robot will react to different
observations. Both are critical for the robot to examine whether it can perform
some specific task. In this project, we incorporate the task domain knowledge,
sensor technology or fabrication constraints, and build search algorithms to
find plans and sensor designs jointly for some planning problem, if and only if
they exist.
