PDDL Task Planning for Tunnel Spraying Based on a Multivariate Coating Accumulation Model by Yan Huang, Wenzheng Shi, Xin Sui, Chunyang Liu, Kai Xu

“…These volumes are then utilized to hierarchically plan the spraying tasks (e.g., patching, filling, and surface smoothing). A concrete coating thickness prediction method is developed, incorporating static and dynamic coating accumulation models with key process parameters—spraying flow rate <i>Q</i>, air pressure <i>P</i>, and spraying distance <i>H</i>—as independent variables. …”
