Abstract
The "Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition" (ARIAC) is an international robotic competition carried out in a simulated ROS2/Gazebo factory floor. Competitors control a robot, overcoming a range of agility challenges in this simulated environment, and are provided with a scoring system to evaluate their performance during the tasks. This paper describes one of the agility challenges in ARIAC 2023, which pertains to autonomous human operators on the factory floor. The simulated human operators are implemented as Belief- Desire-Intention (BDI) agents and are provided with a range of different potential types of behaviour. In undertaking manufacturing tasks, competitors must now also avoid close proximity to these humans.Conference Dates
