This work addresses robot task planning in service domains, but it appears incremental as it applies existing algorithms to a new scenario.

The authors formalized waiting tables in a restaurant as a robot planning problem to test algorithms for optimal planning in partially observable, dynamic multi-task environments.

We present how we formalize the waiting tables task in a restaurant as a robot planning problem. This formalization was used to test our recently developed algorithms that allow for optimal planning for achieving multiple independent tasks that are partially observable and evolve over time [1], [2].
