Safety is a critical concern in human-robot collaboration (HRC). As collaborative robots take on increasingly complex tasks in human environments, their systems have become more sophisticated through the integration of multimodal sensors, including force-torque sensors, cameras, LiDARs, and IMUs. Ho
This paper presents ETA-IK, a novel Execution-Time-Aware Inverse Kinematics method tailored for dual-arm robotic systems. The primary goal is to optimize motion execution time by leveraging the redundancy of the entire system, specifically in tasks where only the relative pose of the robots is const
We present LiHRA, a novel dataset designed to facilitate the development of automated, learning-based, or classical risk monitoring (RM) methods for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) scenarios. The growing prevalence of collaborative robots in industrial environments has increased the need for reliable
Due to the increasing behavioral and structural complexity of robots, it is challenging to predict the execution outcome after error detection. Anomaly detection methods can help detect errors and prevent potential failures. However, not every fault leads to a failure due to the system’s fault toler…
This paper proposes a reachability-aware model predictive control with a discrete control barrier function for backward obstacle avoidance for a tractor-trailer system. The framework incorporates the state-variant reachable set obtained through sampling-based reachability analysis and symbolic regre…
As it happens, despite yet unmatched by robots perception and motor skills humans drop objects during handover because of false grasp detection and early release. Accordingly, the fluent robot-human handover is still an open challenge. This paper presents an approach to a natural robot to human hand…
