Patent attributes
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for robust robotic task execution. An example method includes obtaining a task-level goal for a robot associated with one or more sub-goals, where accomplishment of the one or more sub-goals accomplishes the task-level goal. Carrying out an operation in pursuance of a given sub-goal may involve controlling at least one actuator of the robot. The method also includes determining one or more parameters indicative of a state of a system that includes the robot and an environment proximate to the robot. The method further includes selecting a particular sub-goal based on at least one of the one or more parameters. Additionally, the method includes selecting at least one controller based on at least one of the one or more parameters and the selected sub-goal. Further, the method includes causing the robot to operate in accordance with the at least one selected controller.
