Abstract

Re-planning is a special case of planning which arises when already produced plans become invalidated before their completion. In this work we investigate the conditions under which plan repairing is more efficient than re-planning from scratch. We present a new plan-repairing algorithm, Dynamic Repairing A* (DRA*) and we compare its performance against A* in a number of different re-planning scenarios. The experimental results indicate that if the percentage of the plan that has been already executed is less than 40% to 50% and the changes in the environment are small or moderate, DRA* outperforms A* in terms of speed by a factor of 10% to 80% in the majority of the cases.
