Human-Robot Collaboration System Setup for Weed Harvesting Scenarios in Aquatic Lakes

Abstract-- Artificial Water Bodies (AWBs) are human-made and require continuous monitoring due to their artificial biological processes. These systems necessitate regular maintenance to manage their ecosystems effectively. Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) offers a collaborative approach for monitoring these environments, working alongside human operators such as boat skippers to identify specific locations. This paper discusses a weed harvesting scenario, demonstrating how human-robot collaboration can be achieved, supported by preliminary results. I. INTRODUCTION AWBs are created by humans for different reasons such as water retention in dam construction, urban development, rainwater storage, or leisure activities.
