  • Publication number: 20230393546
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for robotics planning. One of the methods comprises obtaining, for each of multiple skills to be performed by one or more robots in an operating environment, a skill footprint and a segmentation subset of the skill footprint that identifies one or more entities in the operating environment for performing the skill and that specifies requested permissions for the one or more entities; initiating execution of the skill; while the skill is executing, receiving a read or write request that references an entity that does not occur in the segmentation subset of the skill footprint; and in response, denying the read or write request that references the entity that does not occur in the segmentation subset of the skill footprint.
