Uncertainty in Planning
The core challenge of planning under uncertainty lies in representing the agent's beliefs about the environment. This is typically achieved through belief spaces, where each point represents a possible state of the world, and the associated value indicates the agent’s confidence in that state.
A key component of this process involves information gathering actions – actions designed to reduce uncertainty by acquiring new knowledge about the environment. These actions can range from simple observations to complex explorations guided by probabilistic models.
Finally, effective manipulation strategies often rely on contact-rich environments, where the robot has frequent opportunities to interact with objects and receive feedback on its actions. This allows for a more robust and adaptable approach to planning under uncertainty.
Force Closure
The primary goal of force closure is to ensure that the system’s trajectory remains within a defined region of space. This is achieved by carefully controlling the forces acting on the robot, ensuring it doesn't drift outside its intended workspace.
This approach relies heavily on accurate sensor data and precise motor control. The system continuously monitors the robot’s position and orientation, adjusting the applied forces to maintain stability and prevent unwanted movements.

The task involves planning a manipulation strategy under conditions of positional uncertainty. This means the exact location of objects is not known with complete precision, introducing error into the planning process.
A key element is to estimate the pose (position and orientation) of the target object with associated uncertainty. This uncertainty should be explicitly considered throughout the planning stage.
The plan should focus on techniques such as funneling, where a defined path is created to guide the manipulator towards the goal, combined with force-limited insertion strategies to account for potential deviations from the ideal trajectory.
Finally, it's crucial to implement a retry mechanism. If the initial plan encounters difficulties due to unforeseen uncertainty, the system should reassess its beliefs and attempt the manipulation again using updated information.
