Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for robot motion planning using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). One of the methods includes determining that a current plan for performing a particular task with a robot requires modification; in response, generating one or more flight plans for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on a robotic operating environment comprising the robot; obtaining, using the UAV in accordance with the one or more flight plans, a new measurement of the robotic operating environment comprising the robot; and generating, based at least on a difference between the new measurement of the robotic operating environment and a previous measurement of the robotic operating environment, a modified plan for performing the particular task with the robot.
