Simple robotics controller which are able to follow a line can be realized without much effort. A well known strategy like a behavior tree can determine the next action of the robot and this allows the device to fulfill a task. More complicated challenges will show the limits of this strategy. If the aim is to plan a longer horizon with different subgoals, a new kind of control strategy is needed.

In the literature such a hierarchical planning system is called a task and motion planner.[1] It consists of lowlevel planning with skills and high-level planning which are realized as PDDL symbolic representation. Often, such systems are equipped with Question&answering capabilities in natural language.[2]
