Blended dexterous autonomy and remote robotics for resilient economic service delivery

尽管自动化能力不断提高，但人类的灵活性、感知能力、技能，也许最重要的是判断力，仍然是社会和经济中大量服务和流程所必需的。然而，让人们亲自执行任务有一系列的缺点；他们必须在一个特定的地方提供服务，这就产生了前往那个地点的经济和环境成本。人类容易疲劳、受伤和犯错，尤其是在从事重复性的体力劳动时。无论是否发生大流行，人类都是疾病的传播媒介——这在人类相互接触或接触食物的任何情况下都是相关的。如果我们能让机器人完成人类能完成的每一项任务，那就太好了，但目前机器人技术的发展水平还远远达不到这一水平。我们提出了一种经济的远程机器人系统方法，通过将人类的运动技能和感知投射到机器人代理中，通过人工智能增强简单任务，将人类从这些情况中移除。从社会角度看，这有利于工人的健康（减少伤害，方便）。从业务角度来看，它允许在更广泛的情况下交付带有相关经济活动的服务，否则这些情况可能会破坏服务本身或对服务的需求。我们将在两个日常场景中演示该系统；*理发（也代表医疗保健应用）*食物准备。

Despite ever increasing automation capability, human dexterity, perception, skill and perhaps most importantly judgement is still necessary for a vast range of services and processes in society and the economy.However having people carry out tasks in-person has a range of disadvantages;1. They have to be a in a particular place to deliver the service - incurring economic and environmental costs in travelling to that location2. Humans are susceptible to fatigue, injury and mistakes, particularly when carrying out repetitive manual tasks.3. Whether in a pandemic or not, humans are a vector for disease - this is relevant in any situation where humans come into contact with one another, or food.It would be great if we could have robots to carry out every task humans can, but the current state of the art in robotics is a long way short of this level of capability.We propose an economical remote obotics system way to remove the human from these situations by projecting a human's motor skills and perception into a robotic proxy, augmented by AI for simple tasks. From a societal point of view this carries health benefits to the worker (reduced injury, convenience). From a business point of view it allows the delivery of services, with associated economic activity, in a wider range of situations that might otherwise disrupt either the service itself or the demand for the service.We will demonstrate the system in two everyday scenarios;* Hair cutting (also representing healthcare applications)* Food preparation.
