Explanation-Based Learning of Generalized Robot Assembly Plans

This thesis describes an experiment involving the application of a recently developed machine learning technique, explanation-based learning, to the robot retraining problem. Explanation-based learning permits a system to acquire generalized problem-solving knowledge on the basis of a single observed problem-solving example. The resulting computer program, called ARMS for Acquiring Robotic Manufacturing Schemata, serves as a medium for discussing issues related to this particular type of learning. This work clarifies and extends the corpus of knowledge so that explanation-based learning can be successfully applied to real-world problems.
