FlyKites: Human-centric Interactive Exploration and Assistance under Limited Communication

  • 机器人分阶段探索、断续通信,减少对持续链路依赖。
  • 动态优化中继拓扑与操作员路径,确保援助延迟最小。
  • 人机协同在线调整角色,适合救援等高危场景应用。

自主机器人编队被用于未知环境的探索,如地下勘探、侦察和搜救任务。探索过程中,机器人可能遭遇未识别目标、通道阻塞、交互对象或临时故障等意外事件,需人类持续协助与可靠通信支持。然而,在仅能通过自组织网络实现短距通信的极端环境(如洞穴、地下隧道)中,这极具挑战性。本文提出一种新型以人为中心的多机器人交互式探索与辅助框架FlyKites,包含三个交织模块:(I) 分布式探索与间歇通信(“扩散模式”),机器人协同探索并局部交换数据;(II) 中继拓扑、操作员路径与机器人角色分配的联合优化(“中继模式”),以最小化援助延迟;(III) 人机协同在线执行,机器人可自适应切换角色并响应操作员指令。在多个复杂场景中进行了大规模人机协同仿真与硬件实验。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fleets of autonomous robots have been deployed for exploration of unknown scenes for features of interest, e.g., subterranean exploration, reconnaissance, search and rescue missions. During exploration, the robots may encounter un-identified targets, blocked passages, interactive objects, temporary failure, or other unexpected events, all of which require consistent human assistance with reliable communication for a time period. This however can be particularly challenging if the communication among the robots is severely restricted to only close-range exchange via ad-hoc networks, especially in extreme environments like caves and underground tunnels. This paper presents a novel human-centric interactive exploration and assistance framework called FlyKites, for multi-robot systems under limited communication. It consists of three interleaved components: (I) the distributed exploration and intermittent communication (called the "spread mode"), where the robots collaboratively explore the environment and exchange local data among the fleet and with the operator; (II) the simultaneous optimization of the relay topology, the operator path, and the assignment of robots to relay roles (called the "relay mode"), such that all requested assistance can be provided with minimum delay; (III) the human-in-the-loop online execution, where the robots switch between different roles and interact with the operator adaptively. Extensive human-in-the-loop simulations and hardware experiments are performed over numerous challenging scenes.
