The PLBA (Preference Landscape Learning and Behavior Adjusting) framework can be extended to accommodate dynamic changes in both the environment and human preferences by implementing a continuous learning and adaptation mechanism. This can be achieved through the following strategies:
Real-Time Data Integration: By incorporating real-time sensor data, such as LiDAR, GPS, and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), the framework can continuously update its understanding of the environment. This allows the MRS (Multi-Robot System) to adapt to new obstacles, changes in terrain, or variations in environmental conditions, ensuring that the robots can navigate safely and efficiently.
Adaptive Human Preference Learning: The framework can utilize online learning techniques to adjust the human preference model dynamically. By continuously collecting feedback from human operators during the mission, the PLBA can refine its understanding of human preferences in response to changing conditions. This could involve using reinforcement learning algorithms that adapt the preference landscape based on real-time feedback, allowing for a more responsive and flexible MRS behavior.
Multi-Modal Feedback Mechanism: To better capture the nuances of human preferences, the PLBA can integrate multi-modal feedback mechanisms. This could include not only verbal or visual feedback but also physiological signals (e.g., heart rate, eye tracking) that indicate the operator's stress or comfort levels. By analyzing these diverse data sources, the framework can gain a more comprehensive understanding of human preferences and adjust robot behaviors accordingly.
Scenario-Based Adaptation: The PLBA can be designed to recognize specific scenarios or patterns in the environment that may trigger different human preferences. For instance, if the MRS enters a cluttered area, the framework could automatically prioritize safety over speed, based on learned preferences from previous missions. This scenario-based approach would enhance the adaptability of the MRS in real-time.
Collaborative Learning: The framework can facilitate collaborative learning among multiple robots. By sharing experiences and preferences learned from different environments, the MRS can collectively improve its performance and adaptability. This could involve a decentralized learning approach where robots communicate their learned preferences and environmental assessments, leading to a more robust and resilient system.
