ITR/SI: Collaborative Telerobotics: Theory and Scalable Infrastructure

该提案解决了由多个独立操作员同时控制机器（例如机器人）的问题。这种情况很可能出现，例如，当机器人通过互联网从不同的位置进行控制时，以及远程沉浸和远程工作时。作为一种可能性，来自参与者的输入可能被组合起来生成一个单一的控制流——这相当于参与者相互协作而不是相互竞争。新的基础研究问题，出现在系统与多用户控制一个单一的设备-在理论，算法和系统实现的背景下-将被调查。

The proposal addresses the problem of simultaneous control of a machine - e.g. a robot - by a number of independent operators. Such situations are likely to appear, for example, when robots are controlled via Internet from various locations, and also in tele-immersion and teleworking. As a possibility, inputs from the participants may be combined to generate a single control stream - which is equivalent to the participants collaborating rather competing with each other. New fundamental reaserch issues that appear in systems with multi-user control of a single device - in the context of theory, algorithms, and system implementation - will be investigated.
