Research Abstract

we introduce an interactive method to integrate automatic behavior and teleoperation. In various environments, automatic behavior programmed in advance might not work. Humanoids need support by human using tele-operation. On the other hand, operability would be better with support of humanoid in tele-operation. We propose stochastic method to resolve when and how humanoids give up and get over initiative. We actually implemented the method on a humanoid; HRP-2W.

As a example for the shift from autonomy to tele-operation, we proposed that HRP-2W should ask the position of objects when he failed to recognize it. On this occasion, HRP-2W should tell human what kind of information he needs for appropriate support.

As for the shift from tele-operation to autonomy, we demonstrated that HRP-2W should take over the initiative when operator's command seemed to be wrong. HRP-2W computes the certainty factor from operator's commands of the past. This system uses Inamura's "PEXIS", which utilizes Bayesian network.
