Abstract
Robotics research has mainly concentrated on low-level kinematics, dynamics, and path control problems. Intelligent decision making will also be required for truly effective robots. Planning for tasks requiring multiple arm coordination, including human/robot cooperative efforts, is becoming increasingly important. This paper reports progress toward a theory and implementation of collaborative action. An execution environment for coordinated parallel action is also presented.
