Understanding human responses to errors in a collaborative human-robot selective harvesting task

摘要

A human-robot approach for the farm of the future motivates robotics researchers to consider ways in which auto- mated devices and intelligent systems can work alongside farmers to address a wide range of highly specialised but often repetitive tasks. The work presented here investigates a collaborative task in which a human and robot share decision making about the readiness of strawberries for harvesting. Preliminary experimental results with two different robot behaviours and two different user groups are compared.
