Verifying Autonomous Robots
Verifying Autonomous Robots: Challenges and Reflections Clare Dixon Department of Computer Science, The University of Manchester, UK https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/clare.dixon.html [email protected] Abstract Autonomous robots such as robot assistants, healthcare robots, industrial robots, autonomous vehicles etc. are being developed to carry out a range of tasks in different environments. The robots need to be able to act autonomously, choosing between a range of activities. They may be operating close to or in collaboration with humans, or in environments hazardous to humans where the robot is hard to reach if it malfunctions. We need to ensure that such robots are reliable, safe and trustworthy. In this talk I will discuss experiences from several projects in developing and applying verification techniques to autonomous robotic systems. In particular we consider: a robot assistant in a domestic house, a robot co-worker for a cooperative manufacturing task, multiple robot systems and robots operating in hazardous environments. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Computer systems organization → Dependable and fault-tolerant systems and networks; Software and its engineering → Software verification and validation; Theory of computation → Logic Keywords and phrases Verification, Autonomous Robots Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.TIME.2020.1 Category Invited Talk Funding Clare Dixon: This work was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) under the grants Trustworthy Robot Systems (EP/K006193/1) and Science of Sensor Systems Software (S4 EP/N007565/1) and by the UK Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF), delivered by UKRI and managed by EPSRC under the grants Future AI and Robotics Hub for Space (FAIR-SPACE EP/R026092/1) and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Nuclear (RAIN EP/R026084/1). -

Executive Summary World Robotics 2019 Service Robots 11
Executive Summary World Robotics 2019 Service Robots 11 Executive Summary World Robotics 2019 Service Robots Service robotics encompasses a broad field of applications, most of which having unique designs and different degrees of automation – from full tele-operation to fully autonomous operation. Hence, the industry is more diverse than the industrial robot industry (which is extensively treated in the companion publication World Robotics – Industrial Robots 2019). IFR Statistical Department is currently aware of more than 750 companies producing service robots or doing commercial research for marketable products. A full list is included in chapter 4 of World Robotics Service Robots 2019. IFR Statistical Department is continuously seeking for new service robot producers, so please contact [email protected] if you represent such a company and would like to participate in the annual survey conducted in the first quarter of each year. Participants receive the survey results free of charge. Sales of professional service robots on the rise The total number of professional service robots sold in 2018 rose by 61% to more than 271,000 units, up from roughly 168,000 in 2017. The sales value increased by 32% to USD 9.2 billion. Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) represent the largest fraction in the professional service robot market (41% of all units sold). They are established in non-manufacturing environments, mainly logistics, and have lots of potential in manufacturing. The second largest category (39% of all units sold), inspection and maintenance robots, covers a wide range of robots from rather low-priced standard units to expensive custom solutions. Service robots for defense applications accounted for 5% of the total number of service robots for professional use sold in 2018. -
How Humanoid Robots Influence Service Experiences and Food Consumption

Scott, Jenny van Doorn, Ilana Shanks, and Dhruv Grewal “Service Robots Rising: How Humanoid Robots Influence Service Experiences and Food Consumption” © 2017 Martin Mende, Maura L.

Report Summary Interactions between consumers and humanoid service robots (i.e., robots with a human-like morphology such as a face, arms, and legs) soon will be part of routine marketplace experiences, and represent a primary arena for innovation in services and shopper marketing. At the same time, it is not clear whether humanoid robots, relative to human employees, trigger positive or negative consequences for consumers and companies. Although creating robots that appear as much like humans as possible is the “holy grail” in robotics, there is a risk that consumers will respond negatively to highly human-like robots, due to the feelings of discomfort that such robots can evoke. Here, Martin Mende, Maura Scott, Jenny van Doorn, Ilana Shanks, and Dhruv Grewal investigate whether humanoid service robots (HSRs) trigger discomfort and what the consequences might be for customers’ service experiences. They focus on the effects of HSRs in a food consumption context. Six experimental studies, conducted in the context of restaurant services, reveal that consumers report lower assessments of the server when their food is served by a humanoid service robot than by a human server, but their desire for food and their actual food consumption increases. -

New theories and tech- niques in combination with the ever-increasing performance of modern processors are at last giving robots and other artificial devices the power to interact automatically and usefully with their real, complex surround- ings. Today’s research robots no longer aim just to execute sequences of car-spraying commands or find their way out of contrived mazes, but to move independently through the world and interact with it in human- like ways. Artificially intelligent devices are now starting to emerge from laboratories and apply their abilities to real-world tasks, and it seems inevitable to me that this will continue at a faster and faster rate until they become ubiquitous everyday objects. The effects that artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and other tech- nologies developing in parallel will have on human society, in the rel- atively near future, are much greater than most people imagine — for better or worse. Ray Kurzweil, in his book ‘The Singularity is Near’, presents a strong case that the progress of technology from ancient times to the current day is following an exponential trend. An exponential curve in mathematics is one whose height increases by a constant multiplicative factor for each unit horizontal step. -
Service Robots Are Increasingly Broadening Our Horizons Beyond the Factory Floor
Toward a Science of Autonomy for Physical Systems: Service Peter Allen Henrik I. Christensen [email protected] [email protected] Columbia University Georgia Institute of Technology Computing Community Consortium Version 1: June 23, 20151 1 Overview A recent study by the Robotic Industries Association [2] has highlighted how service robots are increasingly broadening our horizons beyond the factory floor. From robotic vacuums, bomb retrievers, exoskeletons and drones, to robots used in surgery, space exploration, agriculture, home assistance and construction, service robots are building a formidable resume. In just the last few years we have seen service robots deliver room service meals, assist shoppers in finding items in a large home improvement store, checking in customers and storing their luggage at hotels, and pour drinks on cruise ships. Personal robots are here to educate, assist and entertain at home. These domestic robots can perform daily chores, assist people with disabilities and serve as companions or pets for entertainment [1]. By all accounts, the growth potential for service robotics is quite large [2, 3]. Due to their multitude of forms and structures as well as application areas, service robots are not easy to define. The International Federation of Robots (IFR) has created some preliminary definitions of service robots [5]. A service robot is a robot that performs useful tasks for humans or equipment excluding industrial automation applications. Some examples are domestic servant robots, automated wheelchairs, and personal mobility assist robots. A service robot for professional use is a service robot used for a commercial task, usually operated by a properly trained operator. -
