Design and Implementation of Visual Robot Mission Planning

The mission planning system (MPS) has become more prevalent as a high-level reasoning tool in real robotic systems. This paper analyzes the research prospects of MPS and presents the implementation of the core functions of MPS including Socket communication module, client module, server module, program construction method and mission planning module. This paper uses java based socket communication model to achieve two-way communication robot functions, robot task resolution, scheduling and exception handling. This paper also implements a task planner for an instance of shutting down the lights. After the simulation and testing of the system, it reveals that the robots are able to complete the mission and perform task decomposition and scheduling very effectively.
