Robots planning long-horizon behavior in complex environments must be able to quickly reason about the impact of the environment's geometry on what plans are feasible, i. e., whether there exist action parameter values that satisfy all constraints on a candidate plan.

We present a strategy for designing and building very general robot manipulation systems involving the integration of a general-purpose task-and-motion planner with engineered and learned perception modules that estimate properties and affordances of unknown objects.

The problem of planning for a robot that operates in environments containing a large number of objects, taking actions to move itself through the world as well as to change the state of the objects, is known as task and motion planning (TAMP).

To solve multi-step manipulation tasks in the real world, an autonomous robot must take actions to observe its environment and react to unexpected observations.

While robotics for architectural-scale construction has made significant progress in recent years, a major challenge remains in automatically planning robotic motion for the assembly of complex structures.

Solving long-horizon problems in complex domains requires flexible generative planning that can combine primitive abilities in novel combinations to solve problems as they arise in the world.

We extend PDDL to support a generic, declarative specification for these procedures that treats their implementation as black boxes.

We introduce STRIPStream: an extension of the STRIPS language which can model these domains by supporting the specification of blackbox generators to handle complex constraints.

In this paper we address planning problems in high-dimensional hybrid configuration spaces, with a particular focus on manipulation planning problems involving many objects.
