Abstract: This thesis describes an approach to synthesizing plans for robotic excavators. Excavation
tasks range from loading a pile of soil to cutting a geometrically described volume of
earth--- for a trench or foundation footing. The excavation task can be stated in terms familiar
to researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence: Transform the world from its current
state to another state. Two important characteristics, however, distinguish the excavation
domain. First, soil is deformable, and,... (Update)
