An autonomous service robot should be able to interact with its environment safely and robustly without requiring human assistance. Unstructured environments are challenging for robots since the exact prediction of outcomes is not always possible. Even when the robot behaviors are well-designed, the
We need robots more aware of the unintended outcomes of their actions for ensuring safety. This can be achieved by an onboard failure detection system to monitor and detect such cases. Onboard failure detection is challenging with a limited set of onboard sensor setup due to the limitations of sensi…
Handling safety is crucial to achieve lifelong autonomy for robots. Unsafe situations might arise during manipulation in unstructured environments due to noises in sensory feedback, improper action parameters, hardware limitations or external factors. In order to assure safety, continuous execution…
