Abstract:

Operational knowledge is an important factor to improve the autonomous operational capability of unmanned systems. How to store and represent operational knowledge systematically and normatively, so that unmanned systems can autonomously complete mission planning according to the high-level task instructions, and carry out task planning and intelligent decision making based on constantly updated battlefield knowledge, is a new research field. Firstly, an ontology-based task planning framework is proposed by summarizing the concept, planning method, and knowledge representation method of task planning domain. Then, the application of ontology in robot, unmanned system, military mission planning, and other fields is summarized. The characteristics and shortcomings of current research are analyzed. And the important research direction of this problem is proposed. Finally, the principles that should be followed and the key capabilities that should be paid attention to when constructing the task planning ontology of unmanned system are discussed.

Key words: ontology, task planning, intelligent planning, unmanned systems
