Abstract
Robots assisting humans in complex domains often have to reason with different descriptions of incomplete domain knowledge. It is difficult to equip such robots with comprehensive knowledge about the domain and axioms governing
the domain dynamics. This paper presents a combined architecture that enables interactive and cumulative discovery of axioms governing action capabilities, and the preconditions and effects of actions in the domain. Specifically, Answer
Set Prolog is used to represent the incomplete domain knowledge, and to reason with this knowledge for planning and diagnostics. Unexpected outcomes observed during plan execution trigger reinforcement learning to interactively discover specific instances of previously unknown axioms and to revise the existing axioms. Furthermore, a decision tree induction approach based on the relational domain representation constructs generic versions of the discovered axioms, which are then used for subsequent reasoning. The architecture’s
capabilities are illustrated and evaluated in a simulated domain of a robot moving objects to specific places or people in an indoor domain.
