Abstract A multi-human-robot collaboration task allocation framework considering both caregiver’s fatigue and elderly satisfaction was proposed in order to balance the subjective feelings of caregivers and elderly people. A mathematical model of caregiver’s fatigue was established by considering factors such as caregiver’s rest duration before task execution, the rapport between caregivers and elderly people, and task difficulty. A multi-objective optimization model for multi-human-robot collaboration task allocation was developed combined with elderly satisfaction. A two-dimensional double-constraint encoding method and its reasonable initialization and updating methods were proposed based on the characteristics of common tasks in elderly care scenarios. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm was employed to solve the multi-objective optimization model by using this encoding. The final task execution plan was determined from the Pareto optimal solution set according to the min-max and max-min principles in order to prevent situations where individual caregivers experience extreme fatigue or individual elderly people have extremely low satisfaction. The simulation results demonstrate that the multi-task allocation framework for ‘multiple caregivers and multiple robots’ collaboration can achieve task allocation within a multi-caregiver and multi-robot team in the proposed elderly care scenario while balancing caregiver’s fatigue and elderly satisfaction, as well as maintaining a balance between the overall and individual caregivers, and between the overall and individual elderly people.

护工-机器人协作养老情境下的多任务分配框架
为了兼顾护工和老人的主观感受,提出考虑护工疲劳度和老人满意度的多人机协作任务分配框架. 考虑护工执行任务前的休息时长、护工和老人之间的好感度、任务难度等因素,建立护工疲劳度的数学模型,结合老人满意度建立多人机协作任务分配多目标优化模型. 结合养老情境下常见任务的特点,提出二维双约束编码及其合理初始化和更新方法. 基于该编码,采用多目标进化算法对多目标优化模型进行求解. 根据min-max与max-min原则,在Pareto最优解集中确定最终的任务执行方案,以防止出现个体护工疲劳度极大或个体老人满意度极小的情况. 仿真结果表明,在提出的养老情境下,“多护工-多机器人”协作的多任务分配框架能够在完成多护工-多机器人团队任务分配的同时,兼顾护工疲劳度和老人满意度、护工总体和个体之间、老人总体和个体之间的平衡.
