Abstract
The invention regards a service robot system comprising a robot and a learning method for the system. The robot has a drive system and at least one effector. The system's processing unit determines a task to be executed by the robot and controls the drive system and the effector according to the task. The processing unit automatically retrieves action definition candidates from a database, evaluates the retrieved action definition candidates with respect to a success score indicating a likelihood that an action according to the action definition candidate contributes to successfully fulfilling the task, executes an action according to the action definition candidate having the highest probability equal to or above a predefined threshold, and sends a request for assistance via a communication interface if the success score is less than a preset threshold. The system will learn from instructions and additional information received in response to such request.
