A methodology for dynamic task allocation in a man-machine system
This paper presents a methodological approach to the dynamic allocation of tasks in a man-machine symbiotic system in the context of dexterous manipulation and teleoperation. This paper addresses symbiosis containing two symbiotic partners which work toward controlling a single manipulator arm for the execution of a series of sequential manipulation tasks. The proposed automated task allocator uses knowledge about the constraints/criteria of the problem, the available resources, the tasks to be performed, and the environment to dynamically allocate tasks to the man and the machine. The presentation of the methodology includes discussions concerning the characteristics of the man-machine symbiotic system, the interaction of the knowledge areas, the flow of execution, and the dynamic nature of the task allocation.
