Cognitive robotic tools for human-centered small-scale multi-robot operations

Descrizione del progetto

Piccoli robot alimentati con l’IA per un nuovo futuro

Le macchine e i robot comunemente impiegati nei processi industriali sono solitamente grandi, pesanti e difficili da utilizzare, il che rende difficile intervenire su una vasta gamma di applicazioni su scale più piccole. Il progetto REGO, finanziato dall’UE, affronterà tale sfida introducendo un’innovativa serie di robot di piccole dimensioni alimentati con l’IA. Gli sciami di questi robot possono essere modulati e adattati in modo unico e sono in grado di eseguire compiti complessi agendo come una squadra coordinata. Alcuni esempi comprendono gli interventi medici e il trattamento delle acque, che richiedono entrambi un attento monitoraggio ed efficienza. Gli operatori umani esperti possono controllare le azioni di queste squadre robotiche attraverso console intuitive e riscontri informativi naturali.

Obiettivo

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.
