The Next Step in Automation: Variable-autonomy Robotic Systems

摘要

Remote Operation with Supervised Autonomy (ROSA) is a collaborative research and development project involving MD Robotics Ltd., the Canadian Space Agency, the National Research Council of Canada, and the University of Toronto. The goal is to develop a variable-autonomy architecture to support ground-based control of space-deployed robitic systems is dynamic workspace environments."When digging, for example, reaction forces cause the need for continuous decision making," said Ross Gillett, senior engineer, research and development, MD Robotics. "The high levels of autonomy that will be developed by the ROSA project will allow the robot the power to make a much larger number of decisions, in a flexible manner."
