On clarifying the concept of "power of attorney" of artificial intelligence systems

Abstract

The subject of the study is the concept of "power of attorney" of artificial intelligence controlling robotic means of varying degrees of autonomy. The relevance of the choice of the subject of research as the principles of the use of robotic systems for various purposes, including in a group, and the object of research, which are algorithmic problems arising in the implementation of group action algorithms, is determined by the existing contradiction between the need for joint use of robotic systems, primarily autonomous, and the complexity of the software implementation of this requirement. The implementation of robotics generates certain technological problems related to the efficiency and safety of algorithmic support of autonomous and controlled robotic systems. The manifestation of such problems may be application errors that reduce the effectiveness of joint actions. In robotics, the main potential reason for the appearance of such a situation is the insufficient effectiveness of existing group application control algorithms, determined by the low level of problem study. The article formulates a list of typical situations that determine the use of autonomous and controlled robots in a group with a leader. On the basis of the proposed classification, possible algorithms for controlling movement in the group are analyzed: both calculations for target maneuvering and for ensuring mutual security. The main situations concerning the types of maneuver are formulated and the mathematical apparatus for their calculations is described. Based on the overview analysis of typical algorithms for controlling movement in space, the formulation of the scientific problem of solving the problem of developing group algorithms and mathematical methods is synthesized.
