Human-robot teams collaborating to achieve tasks under various conditions, especially in unstructured, dynamic environments will require robots to adapt autonomously to a human teammate’s state. An important element of such adaptation is the robot’s ability to infer the human teammate’s tasks. Environmentally embedded sensors (e.g., motion capture and cameras) are infeasible in such environments for task recognition, but wearable sensors are a viable task recognition alternative. Human-robot teams will perform a wide variety of composite and atomic tasks, involving multiple activity components (i.e., gross motor, fine-grained motor, tactile, visual, cognitive, speech and auditory) that may occur concurrently. A robot’s ability to recognize the human’s composite, concurrent tasks is a key requirement for realizing successful teaming. Over a hundred task recognition algorithms across multiple activity components are evaluated based on six criteria: sensitivity, suitability, generalizability, composite factor, concurrency and anomaly awareness. The majority of the reviewed task recognition algorithms are not viable for human-robot teams in unstructured, dynamic environments, as they only detect tasks from a subset of activity components, incorporate non-wearable sensors, and rarely detect composite, concurrent tasks across multiple activity components. |
