Task-Aware Semantic Map: Autonomous Robot Task Assignment Beyond Commands

摘要

With recent advancements in Large Language Models, task planning methods that interpret human commands have garnered significant attention. However, as home robots become more common, specifying every daily task could become impractical. This paper introduces a novel semantic map called the Task-Aware Semantic Map (TASMap), which enables robots to autonomously assign and propose necessary tasks in a scene without explicit human commands. The core innovation of this approach is the ability of TASMap to comprehend the context of objects within a scene and autonomously generate task proposals. This capability significantly advances autonomous robotic assistance, reducing the dependency on specific commands and enhancing interaction with environments. We present two key applications of TASMap: contextual task proposal and spatial task proposal. Our results, verified across 35 diverse and realistically disordered scenes, underscore the effectiveness of TASMap in both simulation and real-world environments.
