Symbiotic Robotic Systems: Humans, Robots, and Smart Environments

摘要

In general symbiotic robotic systems can be considered three-agent systems in which the agents are performing interdependent tasks. In such systems the robot's actions are generally controllable and observable the environment's actions are partially controllable and partially observable, and the human's actions are not (directly) controllable but are partially observable. This new paradigm will enable us to incorporate techniques from AI and robotics in everyday, smart environments. Symbiotic robotic systems will shift our focus from the development of fully autonomous, almighty robot servants to the development of an open, extensible environment in which humans will cohabitate with many cooperating robotic devices
