“Grip-that-there”: An Investigation of Explicit and Implicit Task Allocation Techniques for Human-Robot Collaboration
@article{Mahadevan2021GripthatthereAI, title={“Grip-that-there”: An Investigation of Explicit and Implicit Task Allocation Techniques for Human-Robot Collaboration}, author={Karthik Mahadevan and Maur{\'i}cio Sousa and Anthony Tang and Tovi Grossman}, journal={Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems}, year={2021} }
In ad-hoc human-robot collaboration (HRC), humans and robots work on a task without pre-planning the robot's actions prior to execution; instead, task allocation occurs in real-time. However, prior research has largely focused on task allocations that are pre-planned - there has not been a comprehensive exploration or evaluation of techniques where task allocation is adjusted in real-time. Inspired by HCI research on territoriality and proxemics, we propose a design space of novel task…

This paper developed a framework that uses information about the last object interaction to predict possible future movement destinations of the user and infer where they might need assistance based on prior knowledge and is able to decrease both the time until assistance is provided and the travel distance of the robot.
Anticipatory robot control for efficient human-robot collaboration
