In human-robot collaboration, the mitigation of human physical workload is a crucial factor to avoid musculoskeletal disorders that might jeopardize the operator’s safety and job performance. In this work, we propose a novel, non-invasive method to estimate online the muscle fatigue experienced by t
In human-robot collaborative frameworks the maximization of productivity is of paramount importance. However, it is also crucial to mitigate the cognitive workload induced on the operator during cooperation. Indeed, a high level of stress can negatively affect the human capabilities, thus compromisi
In a collaborative scenario, robots working side by side with humans might rely on vision sensors to monitor the activity of the other agent. When occlusions of the human body occur, both the safety of the cooperation and the performance of the team can be penalized, since the robot could receive in…
In industrial scenarios, requiring human-robot collaboration, the understanding between the human operator and his/her robot coworker is paramount. On the one side, the robot has to detect human intentions, and on the other side, the human needs to be aware of what is happening during the collaborat
