Handling Abort Commands for Kitchen Robots

We propose a solution for handling robot abort commands, illustrated by a real-world scenario involving household kitchen robots. The robot uses planning to find sequences of actions that must be performed in order to gracefully cancel a previously received command. The Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) is used to write a domain to model kitchen activities and behaviours, and this domain is enriched with knowledge from online ontologies and knowledge graphs, like DBPedia. We discuss the results obtained in different scenarios.
