What is it about?

This paper presents an effective Human-Robot interaction framework that would allow the ROS-enabled outdoor agriculture robots to interact effectively with the agriculture workers (who are not trained roboticists) in the open fields, using only their android mobile devices or phones.

Why is it important?

Agriculture Automation & Robotics is supposed to enhance Agriculture operations and maximize output, without interrupting the current operations of the workers in the field. The interaction framework presented in this paper would facilitate that, by allowing the robots to do their work side-by-side with field workers, who can supervise and reconfigure the robots using their mobile phones (and no extra equipment)

Perspectives

Research Series: Robotics - Software Design (PhD work) [2012 - 2017] For my PhD, I focused on the Robot Operating System (ROS), the world's leading open-source platform for robot system development. My work focused on bringing ROS to agriculture, specifically for outdoor operations. This paper was considered the last work related to my PhD research, on how to establish an effective Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) between mobile agriculture robots and farmers and field workers, who are not technically trained to handle robots. Instead, all they need to do is use their mobile devices as use, and implement different types of commands (voice, touch, or even shake, refer to the attached video for more details)
