Abstract: The ability of a robot in automatic programming is crucial to any intelligent robot.An idea of goal-level robot progiamming,derived from that of task-level robor progra-mming,is proposed in this paper.By resorting to network notation,a new represen-tation scheme,by the name of Goal-Level Network(GMN),is formed,and emplo-yed to represent a goal which the robot is supposed to achieve.Consequently,twokinds of plan series are created,by the aids of GMN.One is a combination of paral-lel and sequential plan series,and the other is of sequential ones only.The genera-tion of sequential plan series from combinatorial ones is also considered.
