Towards Opportunistic Action Selection in Human-Robot Cooperation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A robot that is to assist humans in everyday activities should not only be efficient, but also choose actions that are understandable for a person. One characteristic of human task achievement is to recognize and exploit opportunities as they appear in dynamically changing environments. In this paper we explore opportunistic behavior for robots in the context of pick and place tasks with human interaction. As a proof of concept we prototypically embed an opportunistic robot control program, showing that the robot exhibits opportunistic behavior using spatial knowledge, and we validated the feasibility of cooperation in a simulator experiment.

Anticipation in Human-Robot Cooperation: A Recurrent Neural Network Approach for Multiple Action Sequences Prediction
Close Human-robot cooperation is a key enabler for new developments in advanced manufacturing and assistive applications. Close cooperation require robots that can predict human actions and intent, and understand human non-verbal cues. Recent approaches based on neural networks have led to encouraging results in the human action prediction problem both in continuous and discrete spaces. Our app...
متن کاملAdaptive Action Selection of Body Expansion Behavior in Multi-Robot System using Communication
In multi-robot system, cooperation is needed to execute tasks efficiently. The purpose of this study is to realize cooperation among multiple robots using interactive communication. An important role of communication in multi-robot system is to make it possible to control other robots by intention transmission. We consider that multi-robot system can be more and more adaptive by treating commun...
متن کاملRobot Cooperation without Explicit Communication by Fuzzy Signatures and Decision Trees
This paper presents a novel action selection method for multi robot task sharing problem. Two autonomous mobile robots try to cooperate for push a box to a goal position. Both robots equipped with object and goal sensing, but do not have explicit communication ability. We explore the use of fuzzy signatures and decision making system to intention guessing and efficient action selection. Virtual...
متن کاملExperiments in Realising Cooperation between Autonomous Mobile Robots
This paper describes experiments in cooperation using autonomous mobile robots to perform a cleaning task. The robots have heterogeneous capabilities and the task is designed so that cooperation is required. Each experiment increases the sophistication of the cooperation scheme to assess the effect on task performance. The experiments range from using emergent cooperation with no communication ...
متن کاملTowards Intuitive Human-robot Cooperation
Human-robot cooperation calls for the treatment of humanmachine communication channels, especially if humanoid robots are involved. In this paper, we consider implicit nonverbal channels given by recognizing the partner’s intention and proactive execution of tasks. We propose a method that keeps the human in the loop and allows for the systematic reduction of uncertainty inherent in implicit co...
