Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We demonstrate our techniques on several planning problems and show that they apply to challenging real-world tasks such as doing the laundry with a PR2 robot. These results resolve a number of open questions about planning with loops and facilitate the development of new algorithms and applications.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: (Progress-Sieve) abstract policy termination test
Open Source Code No A video of the PR2 robot doing laundry using this approach is available at http://tiny.cc/laundrybot. (This link is for a video, not source code.)
Open Datasets Yes We experimented with versions of the mining problem from the settlers domain by adding various items to the production chain (e.g., tools can be produced when there is a sufficient amount of iron), as well as the problems considered by (Srivastava et al. 2011b) and those by (Bonet, Palacios, and Geffner 2009) that have memoryless solutions.
Dataset Splits No No specific dataset split information (percentages, sample counts, or detailed splitting methodology) is provided.
Hardware Specification Yes All the problems were solved in at most 1s (on a 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 Mac)
Software Dependencies No The implementation is in Java and uses FF (Hoffmann and Nebel 2001; Hoffmann 2003) as the classical planner. (Specific version numbers for Java or FF are not provided.)
Experiment Setup Yes We used a Kinect sensor to obtain RGBD data and Open CV s contour generation based on color masks to detect clothes as objects with a specific range of colors (close to red).
