Abstract
MAP is a system which helps to design task-level actions of an intelligent robot system and to test the automatic generation of plans. The attention is mainly focused on cooperative application domains; in this way, our system is able to construct plans involving several agents, by specifying which actions can be executed simultaneously. MAP is mainly written in SmallTalk; however, we make use of Prolog for generating plans.
