Scientists Develop AI System to Train Robots on Cooperation

A research team at the University of Cincinnati has developed a new AI system to train robots on cooperation while implementing certain tasks. The tests of the new system included training the robots to work together to move a couch around two obstacles and through a narrow door, the German News Agency reported. "If you've ever helped someone move furniture, you know it takes coordination—simultaneously pushing or pulling and reacting based on what your helper is doing. That makes it an ideal problem to examine collaboration between robots," said Andrew Barth, a doctoral student in UC's College of Engineering and Applied Science. During the experience, which was published in the journal Intelligent Service Robotics, neither robot directed the other. Instead, they turned to an artificial intelligence system called Fuzzy Logic to coordinate their efforts. Fuzzy logic uses algorithms that replace a simple binary classification (yes, no) with degrees of right or wrong, and benefit from past results to optimize performance over time. The TechXplore website quoted Barth who said: "Ultimately, we want to expand this to 10 or more robots working cooperatively on a project. If you want to build a gigantic habitat in space, say, you'll need a lot of robots working together." If robots can work independently, losing one won't make much difference. The others can compensate to complete the mission, Barth explained.
