Robot Behavior Planning by a Coordinator Robot in a Symbiotic Autonomous Human-Robot System

This paper addresses robot behavior planning by a coordinator robot in a symbiotic autonomous human-robot system according to human requests. A coordinator robot is constructed based on the knowledge representation of coordination which is a description world to describe a physical domain world on coordination, including interpreter for the human request domain, coordination interface for the problem domain, coordination policy for the solution domain, etc. The coordination policy in the model is adopted for planning robot behaviors by a coordinator robot. By means of a software platform and distributed intelligent agents, a coordinator robot can be implemented and the robot behavior planning can be carried out according to human requests. In this paper, a coordinator robot is actually constructed and it can autonomously plan robot behaviors in a symbiotic autonomous human-robot system. The experimental work demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
