- Abstract
- Human Acts Simulation Program (HASP) is a ten-year research project of the
Computing and Information Systems Center of JAERI. In HASP the goal is developing
programs for an advanced intelligent robot to accomplish multiple instructions
(for instance, related to surveillance, inspection and maintenance) in nuclear power
plants. Some recent artificial intelligence techniques can contribute to this project.
This report introduces some original contributions concerning application of Qualitative
Reasoning (QR) techniques in HASP. The focus is on the knowledge-intensive tasks,
including model-based reasoning, analytic learning fault diagnosis and functional
reasoning. The multi-level extended qualitative modeling for the Skill-Rule-Knowledge
(S-R-K) based reasoning, that included the coordination and timing of events,
Qualitative Sensitivity analysis (QSA), Subjective Qualitative Fault Diagnosis (SQFD)
and Qualitative Function Formation (QFF) techniques are introduced.

- Abstract
- Functional Reasoning (FR) enables people to derive the purpose of objects and
explain their functions. JAERI's Human Acts Simulation Program (HASP),
started from 1987, has the goal of developing programs of the underlying technologies
for intelligent robots by imitating the intelligent behavior of humans.
FR is considered a useful reasoning method in HASP and applied to understand function
of tools and objects in the Toolbox Project. In this report, first, the results of the
diverse FR researches within a variety of disciplines are reviewed and the common core
and basic problems are identified. Then the qualitative function formation (QFF)
technique is introduced. Some novel points are: extending the common qualitative models
to include interactions and timing of events by defining temporal and dependency
constraints, and binding it with the conventional qualitative simulation.
Function concepts are defined as interpretations of either a persistence or an order
in the sequence of states, using the trace of the qualitative state vector derived by
qualitative simulation on the extended qualitative model. This offers solution to some
of the FR problems and leads to a method for generalization and comparison of functions
of different objects.
