Abstract

In this paper, we propose the first approach for veri-fying plans of cognition-enabled autonomous robots that performeveryday manipulation activities in human environments. Ourmethodology is based on the new Intermediate Plan VerificationLanguage (IPVL) which is used to represent plans, environments,and robot belief states in one joint formal model. We devise asymbolic execution engine for IPVL and show the effectivenessof our overall verification methodology in a case study.
