In manufacturing, kitting is the process of grouping separate items together to be supplied as one unit to the assembly line. This is a key logistic task, which is usually performed manually by human operators. However, picking objects from the warehouse implies a great repetitiveness in arm motion.…
A crucial problem in human-robot collaboration is to achieve seamless coordination among the agents. Robots have to adapt to human behaviour, which is highly uncertain. In fact, humans can perform each task in many ways and with different speeds, occasional errors and short pauses. This paper offers…
In collaborative robotics applications, human behaviour is a major source of uncertainty. Predicting the evolution of the current human activity might be beneficial to the effectiveness of task planning, as it enables a higher level of coordination of robot and human activities. This paper addresses…
Handling liquids with spilling avoidance is a topic of interest for a broad range of fields, both in industry and in service robotic applications. In this paper we present a new control architecture for motion planning of industrial robots, able to tackle the problem of liquid transfer with sloshing…
