Would you write
Task-planning for robots ...
or rather

"Task planning," as you must know, isn't common enough to make into any dictionary yet, so there are no formal guidelines. So we'll have to go with a short survey of how people use it:
Googling it shows, at least on the first page, no hyphens.
Consider also "robot path planning," a similar term but a more common one. I've never seen "path planning" hyphenated.
So our best answer based on existing nomenclature is: don't hyphenate.
