Get the Ball Rolling: Alerting Autonomous Robots When to Help to Close the Healthcare Loop
To facilitate the advancement of research in healthcare robots without human intervention or commands, we introduce the Autonomous Helping Challenge, along with a crowd-sourcing large-scale dataset. The goal is to create healthcare robots that possess the ability to determine when assistance is necessary, generate useful sub-tasks to aid in planning, carry out these plans through a physical robot, and receive feedback from the environment in order to generate new tasks and continue the process. Besides the general challenge in open-ended scenarios, Autonomous Helping focuses on three specific challenges: autonomous task generation, the gap between the current scene and static commonsense, and the gap between language instruction and the real world. Additionally, we propose Helpy, a potential approach to close the healthcare loop in the learning-free setting.
