Abstract

The paper begins by describing work being carried out to develop an automatic, robotic excavator and then goes on to consider the types of knowledge required to enable autonomous digging to take place. The particular problems associated with knowledge elicitation and task definition are discussed along with the need for the development of a system capable of operating in real time. The structure of a possible control system is described.
