Human-Robot Collaborative Remote Object Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Object search is one of the typical tasks for remotely-controlled service robots. Although object recognition technologies have been well developed, an efficient search strategy (or viewpoint planning method) is still an issue. This paper describes a new approach to human-robot collaborative remote object search. An analogy for our approach is ride on shoulders; a user controls a fish-eye camera on a remote robot to change views and search for a target object, independently of the robot. Combined with a certain level of automatic search capability of the robot, this collaboration can realize an efficient target object search. We developed an experimental system to show the feasibility of the approach.

Multi-robot remote driving with collaborative control
Multi-robot remote driving has traditionally been a difficult problem. Whenever an operator is forced to divide his limited resources (attention, cognition, etc.) among multiple robots, control becomes complicated and performance deteriorates as a result. Thus, we need to find ways to make command generation and coordination efficient, so that human-robot interaction becomes transparent and tas...
متن کاملLearning Dynamic Robot-to-Human Object Handover from Human Feedback
Object handover is a basic, but essential capability for robots interacting with humans in many applications, e.g., caring for the elderly and assisting workers in manufacturing workshops. It appears deceptively simple, as humans perform object handover almost flawlessly. The success of humans, however, belies the complexity of object handover as collaborative physical interaction between two a...

Communication channels can reveal a great deal of information about the effectiveness of a team. This is particularly relevant for teams operating in performance settings, such as medical groups, military squads, and mixed human–robot teams. Currently, it is not known how various factors, including coordination strategy, speaker role, and time pressure, affect communication in collaborative tas...
متن کاملMinimizing Amplitude of Oscillation of a Suspended Object during Transport by a Robot
– One of the important applications of robots is in material handling and transport of various shaped objects. In cases where an object cannot be directly grasped by the robot gripper, and must be carried by a hook, it may be subject to undesirable swings during transport. This paper presents an analytical method for minimizing the oscillation of a suspended object during transport. This method...
