Abstract

Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) has recently become a popular high-level specification language for robotic applications. One of the main reasons for the adoption of LTL is that LTL control synthesis algorithms are scalable while providing sufficient expressive power for a range of applications. However, despite the recent progress, one challenge remains. How can a non-expert robot user, who is not a logician, provide mission and motion plans for multiple robots in LTL? In this paper, we propose a graphical specification environment for LTL specifications that utilizes touchscreen technologies. We demonstrate that the graphical interface can express all the properties of interest that have appeared in the literature.
