The autonomous value of unmanned systems is to compensate and enhance the ability of humans, rather than to replace humans. Many of the tasks performed by unmanned systems are co-completed by human-machine cooperation. According to the definition of the national institute of standards and technology, the autonomy of an unmanned system is the ability of the unmanned system to integrate the application of awareness, analysis, communication, planning, decision-making, and actions, etc., in order to accomplish a given task, which is given by an operator through a man-machine interface, or by other systems by way of communication. Autonomy may be described in terms of task complexity, environmental difficulty, and man-machine interaction level. Thus, the autonomy of the unmanned system may be of a level. In the task execution process, the unmanned system with the variable autonomous capability is dynamically adjusted to a proper autonomous level according to different working states, so that the working pressure of a user can be reduced, and the task execution efficiency is improved.
The existing unmanned system autonomous level definition and adjustment methods mainly comprise three types: (1) Defining multiple autonomous levels in the system design stage, evaluating the system capacity when the task starts, and selecting one autonomous level to implement according to certain rules; (2) The method comprises the steps that a definite autonomous level is not defined in a system design stage, when a task is executed, the system capacity pair is evaluated in real time, and the control authority of the task execution is completely or partially transferred; (3) Variable autonomy is implemented based on a multi-Agent System (MAS), the capabilities of which correspond to agents, and the autonomy capabilities can be adjusted by starting or stopping some agents.
