Abstract:

Robot planning is not a new topic. Task planning is one of the earliest research areas in artificial intelligence, and motion planning is one of the most important topics in robotics. It was not until recently that researchers started to look into the so-called, task-and-motion planning (TAMP) problem, aiming to simultaneously fulfill task-level goals and ensure motion-level feasibility. Another observation is that, when such robots work with people, their observability gap makes collaboration difficult. In this talk, I first present grounded TAMP methods towards efficient and feasible task completions, and then present how we leverage augmented reality (AR) technologies to enable effective human-robot collaboration. Those methods are demonstrated using everyday robot tasks, such as mobile manipulation, and object delivery.
