Apologies for multiple copies<br>
<br>
We are glad to invite you to attend the 9th ICAPS workshop on
Planning and Robotics (PlanRob 2021).<br>
<br>
The event will be an online virtual event and the program is full of
interesting papers.<br>
The workshop program is also enriched by a keynote talk of Peter
Stone (University of <br>
Texas at Austin) on "Task Planning and Learning for General-Purpose
Service Robots" <br>
(see below for details).<br>
<br>
You may find more details about the program on the workshop web page
and just below.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your attention<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

autonomous robots, especially learned robot skills, there remain
significant challenges in building robust, scalable, and
general-purpose systems for service robots. Our research aims to
answer the question "How can symbolic reasoning and machine
learning methods be combined to create general-purpose service
robots that reason about high-level actions and adapt to the real
world?"</p>

initial;">We approach this question from two directions. First, we
introduce planning algorithms that adapt to the environment using
machine learning and exchanging knowledge with other agents. These
algorithms allow robots to plan in open-world scenarios, to plan
around other robots while avoiding conflicts and realizing
synergies, and to adapt plans by learning action costs throughout
executions in the real world. Second, we develop reinforcement
learning (RL) methods for service robot systems. These methods
address the challenges of maximizing the long-term average reward
in continuing tasks, as well as improving sample efficiency by
leveraging reasoning and planning via reward shaping. Taken
together, our research makes significant strides towards solving
the grand challenge of creating general-purpose service robots.</p>
