Interactive Robot Behavior Creation for Untrained Users
We are investigating the cooperation of different (heterogeneous) autonomous systems in joint robot fleets and how users can configure them. In order to be suitable for everyday applications, e.g. as a service robot in cooperation with humans, the robots must be possible to configure by domain experts without further training and without in-depth technical knowledge. For example, tools for visual programming that are intuitive to use can be used for this purpose.
This is what we developed an open-source software tool for, called N ode-(RED) 2 (Node-RED-based Robotics Empowerment Designer) - available on Github: https://github.com/Robotics-Empowerment-Designer/
This tool was used for creating this bartender scenario:
