A Network-Based Framework for Modeling and Analyzing Human-Robot Coordination Strategies
- 基于功能建模与图论结合,刻画任务间关系与环境结构。
- 在灾害机器人案例中验证,可识别灵活管理协作开销的协同能力。
- 适合人机协作系统早期设计,帮助预判协同需求变化。
动态非结构化环境中的人机交互研究显示,随着机器人能力提升,支持与人类问题持有者协作的协同能力需求也相应增加。设计此类系统需明确工作职能与约束,以判断不同联合工作策略的可行性。现有框架或侧重实时执行的计算支持,或依赖静态表示进行设计,难以支持早期概念设计阶段对协调动态的推理。本文提出一种新型计算框架,通过整合功能建模与图论表示,分析人机系统中的联合工作策略。该框架从系统功能关系及工作环境的物理与信息结构出发,显式捕捉协调需求随时间演化的特性。在灾难机器人案例中验证其应用,展示了如何支持早期策略空间探索,并识别出支撑灵活管理协作开销的协同能力。结果表明,该框架使协调需求及其时间演化过程变得清晰可见,有助于在实现前进行协作能力要求与工作负载的设计期推理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Studies of human-robot interaction in dynamic and unstructured environments show that as more advanced robotic capabilities are deployed, the need for cooperative competencies to support collaboration with human problem-holders increases. Designing human-robot systems to meet these demands requires an explicit understanding of the work functions and constraints that shape the feasibility of alternative joint work strategies. Yet existing human-robot interaction frameworks either emphasize computational support for real-time execution or rely on static representations for design, offering limited support for reasoning about coordination dynamics during early-stage conceptual design. To address this gap, this article presents a novel computational framework for analyzing joint work strategies in human-robot systems by integrating techniques from functional modeling with graph-theoretic representations. The framework characterizes collective work in terms of the relationships among system functions and the physical and informational structure of the work environment, while explicitly capturing how coordination demands evolve over time. Its use during conceptual design is demonstrated through a case study in disaster robotics, which shows how the framework can be used to support early trade-space exploration of human-robot coordination strategies and to identify cooperative competencies that support flexible management of coordination overhead. These results show how the framework makes coordination demands and their temporal evolution explicit, supporting design-time reasoning about cooperative competency requirements and work demands prior to implementation.
