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)

.... to load trucks as fast as human operators [13] Previously we have proposed a method to automatically plan digging motions for excavators [11], 12] Digging actions are described by a compact set of action parameters and the space spanned by these parameters is searched for an...

.... surface and is, hence, much faster (quadratic instead of cubic) Figure 4 shows how a modified version of this method described in [Singh 95a] could be used to predict settlement of soil after removing a specified volume. While the method assumes instantaneous removal of soil,...
