Abstract [en]
In this paper, we propose a ROS software package for planning and control of robotic systems with a human-in-the-Ioop focus. The software uses temporal logic specifications, specifically Linear Temporal Logic, for a language-based method to develop correct-by-design high level robot plans. The approach is structured to allow a human to adjust the high-level plan online. A human may also take control of the robot (in a low-level control fashion), but the software prevents the human from implementing dangerous behaviour that would violate the high-level task specification. Finally, the planner is able to learn human-preferred high-level tasks by tracking human low-level control inputs in an inverse learning framework. The proposed approach is demonstrated in a warehouse setting with multiple robot agents to showcase the efficacy of the proposed solution.
