Robotic Supervised Autonomy: A Review
It addresses the problem of bridging teleoperation and full autonomy for robotics applications, but is incremental as a review paper.
The paper defines and discusses supervised autonomy in robotics, comparing it with teleoperation and full autonomy, and concludes it is critical for applying robotic systems to complex real-world problems.
This invited paper discusses a new but important problem, supervised autonomy, in the context of robotics. The paper defines supervised autonomy and compares the supervised autonomy with robotic teleoperation and robotic full autonomy. Based on the discussion, the significance of supervised autonomy was introduced. The paper discusses the challenging and unsolved problems in supervised autonomy, and reviews the related works in our research lab. Based on the discussions, the paper draws the conclusion that supervised autonomy is critical for applying robotic systems to address complicated problems in the real world.
