Abstract
Timeliner is a procedural sequencing system currently in use on the International Space Station. Although robust and easy-to -use, the system has never been used outside the context of sequence planning. This project demonstrates Timeliner as a control system for robots by commanding a Sony AIBO to walk, detect a wall and avoid collision with it. Two robotic programming structures are explored for implementation in Timeliner.
