  abstract  = { Planning means deciding on the future course of action based on
                predictions of what will happen when an activity is carried out in
                one way or the other. As we apply action planning to autonomous,
                sensor-guided mobile robots with manipulators or even to humanoid
                robots we need very realistic and detailed predictions of the
                behavior generated by a plan in order to improve the robot's
                performance substantially.

                In this paper we investigate the high-fidelity temporal projection
                of realistic robot behavior based on physics- and sensor-based
                simulation systems. We equip a simulator and interpreter with means
                to log simulated plan executions into a database. A logic-based
                query and inference mechanism then retrieves and reconstructs the
                necessary information from the database and translates the
                information into a first-order representation of robot plans and the
                behavior they generate.  The query language enables the robot
                planning system to infer the intentions, the beliefs, and the world
                state at any projected time.  It also allows the planning system to
                recognize, diagnose, and analyze various plan failures typical for
                performing everyday manipulation tasks. }}
