RT Conference Proceedings T1 Efficiently reasoning with interval constraints in forward search planning A1 Coles, Amanda A1 Coles, Andrew A1 Martínez Muñoz, Moises A1 Delfa, Juan Manuel A1 Rosa Turbides, Tomás Eduardo de la A1 Escudero Martín, Yolanda A1 García Olaya, Ángel AB In this paper we present techniques for reasoning natively with quantitative/qualitative interval constraints in statebased PDDL planners. While these are considered important in modeling and solving problems in timeline based planners; reasoning with these in PDDL planners has seen relatively little attention, yet is a crucial step towards making PDDL planners applicable in real-world scenarios, such as space missions. Our main contribution is to extend the planner OPTIC to reason natively with Allen interval constraints. We show that our approach outperforms both MTP, the only PDDL planner capable of handling similar constraints and a compilation to PDDL 2.1, by an order of magnitude. We go on to present initial results indicating that our approach is competitive with a timeline based planner on a Mars rover domain, showing the potential of PDDL planners in this setting.
