Improving Human-Robot Collaboration via Computational Design
When robots entered our day-to-day life, the shared space surrounding humans and robots is critical for effective Human-Robot collaboration. The design of shared space should satisfy humans' preferences and robots' efficiency. This work uses kitchen design as an example to illustrate the importance of good space design in facilitating such collaboration. Given the kitchen boundary, counters, and recipes, the proposed method computes the optimal placement of counters that meet the requirement of kitchen design rules and improve Human-Robot collaboration. The key technical challenge is that the optimization method usually evaluates thousands of designs and the computational cost of motion planning, which is part of the evaluation function, is expensive. We use a decentralized motion planner that can solve multi-agent motion planning efficiently. Our results indicate that optimized kitchen designs can provide noticeable performance improvement to Human-Robot collaboration.
