A Resilient and Effective Task Scheduling Approach for Industrial Human-Robot Collaboration

Andrea Pupa, Wietse Van Dijk, Christiaan Brekelmans, Cristian Secchi
2022 Sensors  
If some failures occur, the AND/OR graph is adapted locally, allowing the collaboration to be completed.  ...  Effective task scheduling in human-robot collaboration (HRC) scenarios is one of the great challenges of collaborative robotics.  ...  For this reason, each task T i is associated with recovery actions that allow to restore the nominal behavior of the human-robot team.  ...

Data Survivability in Networks of Mobile Robots in Urban Disaster Environments [article]

Nicolas Kourtellis, Adriana Iamnitchi, Cristian Borcea, Robin Murphy
2013 arXiv   pre-print
Our technique considers the anticipated robot failures and robot heterogeneity to decide how aggressively to replicate data.  ...  Using our novel simulation generation frameworks, we compare our adaptive technique with flooding and broadcast-based replication techniques and show that for failure rates of up to 60% it ensures better  ...  First, these solutions assume homogeneous nodes, while robot teams may be heterogeneous, with different capabilities and failure rates.  ...

Multi-Robot Coordination and Planning in Uncertain and Adversarial Environments [article]

Lifeng Zhou, Pratap Tokekar
2021 arXiv   pre-print
In order for multi-robot systems to become practical, we need coordination algorithms that can scale to large teams of robots dealing with dynamically changing, failure-prone, contested, and uncertain  ...  Deploying a team of robots that can carefully coordinate their actions can make the entire system robust to individual failures.  ...  Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank the National Science Foundation (NSF IIS-1637915) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR N00014-18-1-2829) for their supports.  ...

Coordinating Human-Robot Teams with Dynamic and Stochastic Task Proficiencies

Ruisen Liu, Manisha Natarajan, Matthew C. Gombolay
2022 ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI)  
As robots become ubiquitous in the workforce, it is essential that human-robot collaboration be both intuitive and adaptive.  ...  Third, we conduct a between-subjects experiment (n = 90) to assess the effects on a human-robot team of a robot scheduler actively exploring the humans' task proficiency.  ...  To accomplish successful human-robot interation (HRI) and collaboration with improved performance and team alliance, we develop computational methods to determine high-quality schedules and adaptions to  ...

Reliable distribution of computational load in robot teams

Ivan Valkov, Phil Trinder, Natalia Chechina
2021 Autonomous Robots  
AbstractModern multi-robot systems often need to solve computationally intensive tasks but operate with limited compute resources and in the presence of failures.  ...  We introduce and evaluate a new computation load management technology for teams of robots: Reliable Autonomous Mobile Programs (RAMPs).  ...  That is, RAMPs are the first mechanism for distributing load within robot teams that adapts to hardware and network failures.  ...

2016 Robotics and Biomimetics  
We present in this paper the design of micROS, a morphable, intelligent and collective robot operating system for future collective and collaborative robots.  ...  Robots are developing in much the same way that personal computers did 40 years ago, and robot operating system is the critical basis. Current robot software is mainly designed for individual robots.  ...  Moreover, collective robots themselves are extremely heterogeneous and suffer from high hardware and software failure rate.  ...
