A task complexity assessment tool for single-operator multi-robot control scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
One important aspect of research in multi-robot team applications focuses on integrating humans in the control loop to perform collaborative tasks. Human operators are expected to assume many different roles in these systems. So far, the research in this domain mainly considers situations where tasks are independent from one another. In contrast, the work demonstrated here describes a methodology and software system for studying human behavior in multi-robot control scenarios where tasks are complex and have different types of dependencies.

Shared-Control Paradigms in Multi-Operator-Single-Robot Teleoperation
Extending classical bilateral teleoperation systems to multi-user scenarios allows to broaden their capabilities and extend their applicability to more complex manipulation tasks. In this paper a classical Single-Operator-Single-Robot (SOSR) system is extended to a Multi-Operator-Single-Robot (MOSR) architecture. Two shared-control paradigms which enable visual only or visual and haptic couplin...
متن کاملWorkspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
متن کاملImproving multi-robot teleoperation by inferring operator distraction
A high-quality human-robot interface is essential for the success of search and rescue operations in urban environments that are too challenging for fully-autonomous operation. Teleoperating multiple robots greatly increases the complexity of the human’s cognitive task, since the operator’s concentration is divided among multiple robots. Thus, simply adding more robots to the system does not ne...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Multi-Robot Control Interface
Designing a human-machine interface for a semi-autonomous mobile multi-robot system is a challenging task. The requirements range from operating in a real time environment, facilitating asynchronous command execution to supporting the operator in dividing his monitoring and control resources among multiple robots. This paper presents the results of two simulations based multi-robot experiments ...
متن کاملMap-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
