A Task Planner for Autonomous Mobile Robot Based on Semantic Network

Autonomous mobile robots movement in shared indoor environment, where are people, needs to have natural communication interface. Presented paper describes a formal representation of robots environment by semantic network. Such representation allows us to communicate with autonomous robot with terms defined in semantic network. This kind of human-machine interface is highly necessary in areas of health-care mobile robots or rapidly growing field of social robotics. Presented semantic network can handle relations of positions between places in the map, objects placed in defined places, interaction with objects, etc.
