Application: Assistance control device, assistance device, robot control system, assistance control method, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20230415339A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp describes an assistance control device that acquires assistance request information for tasks to be executed by robots and selects tasks for assistance based on the request information and work information about the robots. The device can prioritize tasks based on factors like dependence relations, similarity, and working time length, and can select subsequent tasks for assistance based on priority scores calculated using work information.
Additionally, the assistance control device can handle situations where multiple tasks require assistance, either during ongoing tasks or when no task is in progress. It can also transmit assistance request information to assistance devices, determine which device to send the request to based on the state of each device, and generate external inputs to control the robot for executing the selected task. The patent also covers an assistance control method executed by a computer and a computer-readable storage medium storing a program for acquiring assistance request information and selecting tasks for assistance based on the information and work details about the robots.
