This paper outlines a structured approach for integrating knowledge graphs into ROS 2 systems to optimize autonomous mission planning in robotics. By leveraging semantic representations of tasks and environments, the methodology aims to significantly improve decision-making efficiency during complex operations like search and rescue. The work represents a substantive advancement in how AI-driven reasoning can be embedded directly within robotic control frameworks rather than acting as an external add-on.
A Methodology for Designing Knowledge-Driven Missions for Robots
arXiv:2601.20797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive methodology for implementing knowledge graphs in ROS 2 systems, aiming to enhance the efficiency and intelligence of autonomous robotic missions. The methodology encompasses several key steps: defining initial and target conditions, structuring tasks and subtasks, planning their sequence, representing task-related data in a knowledge graph, and designing the mission using a high-level language. Each step builds on the previous one to ensure a cohesive process from initial setup to final execution. A practical implementation within the Aerostack2 framework is demonstrated through a simulated search and rescue mission in a Gazebo environment, where drones autonomously locate a target. This implementation highlights the effectiveness of the methodology in improving decision-making and mission performance by leveraging knowledge graphs.
