Projektbeschreibung
Kleine KI-betriebene Roboter für eine neue Zukunft
Die üblicherweise in industriellen Prozessen eingesetzten Maschinen und Roboter sind meist groß, schwer und kompliziert zu bedienen, was es erschwert, ein breiteres Anwendungsspektrum für kleinere Maßstäbe zu realisieren. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt REGO wird nun diese Herausforderung annehmen und stellt eine neuartige Familie KI-gestützter Kleinroboter vor. Schwärme aus derartigen Robotern sind einzigartig modular und anpassungsfähig und sie können als koordiniertes Team komplexe Aufgaben lösen. Beispiele hierfür sind medizinische Eingriffe und die Wasseraufbereitung, die sowohl sorgfältige Überwachung als auch Effizienz erfordern. Erfahrene Menschen am Bedienpult können die Aktionen solcher Roboterteams mittels intuitiver Konsolen und natürlichem Informationsfeedback steuern.
Ziel
Robots are still often regarded as large machines with links, gears, and electric motors, autonomously interacting with the surrounding environment. Despite the great research efforts in robotics and human-robot interaction (HRI), the way we design, use, and control robots has not fundamentally changed in the past 20 years. We see in small-scale wireless multi-robot systems and cognitive HRI a revolutionary answer to nowadays robots limitations. Instead of large, tethered machines, that are difficult for the human user to control, REGO proposes an innovative set of AI-powered, modular, microsized swarms of robots. They are wirelessly steered by electromagnetic fields as well as able to react to other external stimuli, and then naturally controlled by humans through intuitive dexterous interfaces and interaction techniques. Taking advantage of AI multi-robot control strategies, these robots can team up and collaborate to fulfill complex tasks in a robust and unprecedented flexible way. By exploiting multisensory interaction techniques and cognitive shared control, the operator will achieve an unparalleled level of seamless interaction and continuous collaboration with the robotic team. According to the application at hand, the robotic team will feature different task-specific characteristics (e.g. biocompatibility for medical procedures, biodenitrification for cleaning water, ability to carry drugs to fight infections) and be dispatched through various delivery systems, including a stimuli-responsive milli-scale wireless robotic carrier developed within the project. To achieve this revolution, REGO will develop magnetic multi-robot motion control systems, autonomous swarm control techniques for micro-sized robots, human-robot haptic-centered interfaces, and cognitive shared-control techniques. REGO enables the next generation of AI-powered interactive small-size multi-robots systems, with increased capabilities to work with each other and their human operators.
