An Implementation of Seamless Human-Robot Interaction for Telerobotics

[摘要] Achieving human-robot cooperation in a telerobotics system is the focus of this paper. The implementation of human-robot systems can be extremely challenging when the robot is not directly controlled by the human. The interaction mode, depending on the task context, can be continuous manual, semi-autonomous or autonomous. To address the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) issues in such a system, a concept of seamless HRI is introduced. Seamless HRI implies flexibility in human control in interacting with a robot in different situations, and the adaptability of the robot autonomy in response to the human control. The main idea is to design a telerobotics system that allows a shift from manual to autonomous operation, dynamically, via different human-robot roles and relationships. These roles are Master-Slave, Supervisor-Subordinate, Partner-Partner, Teacher-Learner and Full Autonomous mode by the robot. This paper presents the theoretical foundations and the requirements for seamless HRI. An implementation of t...
