A Software Agent Based Control System for Human-Robot Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The software control system for ISAC is described. ISAC is a humanoid robot designed and built by researchers at the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory in the Center for Intelligent Systems at Vanderbilt University. The robot was designed for close human interaction with the goal of enabling it to become intelligent. Possible requirements for intelligence in a robot are presented with reasons for making human-robot interaction a fundamental design constraint. The agentbased, parallel, distributed software architecture used to construct the control system is described. The types of agents and their interactions are described. An approach for using these tools to enable ISAC to learn from its own experiences under the tutelage of a human instructor is proposed.

متن کاملAgent-Based Support for Balancing teleoperation and Autonomy in Urban Search and Rescue
Today’s artificial intelligence technology is insufficient to support autonomous task performance in complex domains such as urban search and rescue, forcing human teleoperation of robots to be extensively relied upon. This, however, also has problems: humans quickly suffer from cognitive overload, and have difficulties in constructing a representation of the space around a remotely-placed robo...
