Abstract: The authors extend the Rhino robot by adding the means for plan-based high-level control and plan transformation, further enhancing its probabilistic reasoning capabilities. The result: an autonomous robot capable of accomplishing prolonged, complex, and dynamically changing tasks in the real world.
