Abstract

This paper presents an extension to the probabilistic programming language ProbRobScene, allowing users to automatically synthesize uniform experiment designs directly from environment specifications. We demonstrate its effectiveness on a number of environment specification snippets from tabletop manipulation, and show that our method generates reliably low-discrepancy designs.
