In some examples of factory automation, a ro bot performs a single task repeatedly for longperiods of time (e.g., months or years). However, robotic systems are not yet widely deployed to performtasks in less structured, less predictable environments. To better integrate robotic sys tems into theseenvironments, robotic systems must be able to adapt to new tasks and environmental conditions.
