Future Steps

Implicit Communication

• Utilizing gestures and motion to convey strategy with the cobot

Operating Under Constrained Conditions

• There are situations where the required blocks to form a pattern are unavailable or unreachable. 

• Choose blocks that the robot cannot access (Collaborative Strategy)

  • The robot could use a collaborative strategy in which it first reaches for blocks inaccessible to the co-bot. This would ensure that both robots maximize their progress on the patterns.

• Choose blocks that you'll need before they're gone (Competitive Strategy)

  • The robot could also consider adopting a competitive strategy where the robot secures scarce resources before the co-bot does so.

Belief Updates

• Reason about the cobot without looking over

• Utilize the perception data from the resource zone to formulate a belief over the co-bot pattern
