Leveraging Agent-Based Reasoning for Natural Task Delegation on the Shop Floor
摘要
Companies are finding collaborative robots (cobots) increasingly appealing due to the latest developments in the field. Unfortunately, a lot of human operators are untrained in operating these sophisticated devices. Observations conducted on the shop floor revealed that humans usually communicate through task-based interactions (TBIs) instead than following precise instructions that robots need to follow. In order to tackle this issue, we suggest a TBI architecture that allows human operators to assign complex tasks to machines through the use of triplets in task specification. This approach uses a task breakdown and a reasoning mechanism based on the Soar cognitive architecture.
