A Supervisory Control Interface for Large Mobile Robot Teams
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a pressing need for supervisory control interfaces that allow single human operators to effectively control large numbers of robots or unmanned vehicles. Although increasing levels of autonomy make it possible to control robots at higher-and-higher levels, we must still be able to respond to unforeseen problems with lowlevel intervention. In this paper, we present RIDE, a supervisory control interface for large teams of mobile robots. RIDE allows task-level control of robot teams, and includes a sliding autonomy mechanism that allows robots to request help from a supervising human when they cannot complete their assigned task.

RIDE: A Mixed-Mode Control Interface for Mobile Robot Teams
There is a growing need for robot control interfaces that allow a single user to effectively control a large number of mostly-autonomous robots. The challenges in controlling such a collection of robots are very similar to the challenges of controlling characters in some genres of video games. In this paper, we argue that interfaces based on elements from computer video games are effective tool...

This paper de nes a hierarchy of human supervisory mediation levels into a robotic system This interaction creates a semi autonomous system which should enable completion of all feasible tasks We propose that the increased interaction between the supervisor and all lev els of a robotic system will permit a human supervisor to maintain the system in a stable state We have in corporated these hie...
متن کاملSupervisory control of mobile robots using Sensory EgoSphere
This paper describes the supervisory control of mobile robots using a biologically inspired short-term memory structure called a Sensory EgoSphere. The EgoSphere is implemented as a virtual geodesic dome upon which sensory data from the surroundings of the robot are written. The EgoSphere is managed by a distinct agent in a distributed agent-based robot control architecture called the Intellige...

The Army’s vision of the future for armored and mechanized military structure includes the use of mixed teams of human and robotic forces on a dynamic and rapidly changing battlefield. Successful implementation of this vision will require autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic forces and a command and control infrastructure that will allow human, robotic, and mixed teams to be controlled quickl...
متن کاملA Flexible Architecture for a Multimodal Robot Control Interface
Despite increased activity in robotics, relatively few advances have been made in the area of human-robot interaction. The most successful interfaces in the recent RoboCup Rescue competition were teleoperational interfaces. However, some believe that teams of robots under supervisory control may ultimately lead to better performance in real world operations. Such robots would be commanded with ...
