Trust is key to achieving successful Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Besides trust of the human co-worker in the robot, trust of the robot in its human co-worker should also be considered. A computational model of a robot’s trust in its human co-worker for physical human-robot collaboration (p
In physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC), singularity avoidance strategies are often critical to obtain stable interaction dynamics. It is hypothesised a predictable singularity avoidance strategy is preferred in pHRC as humans tend to maximise predictability when using complex systems. By using…
When a robot manipulator approaches a kinematic singular configuration, control strategies need to be employed to ensure safe and robust operation. If this manipulator is being controlled by a human through physical human-robot collaboration, the choice of strategy for handling singularities can hav…
Physical Human-Robot Collaboration (pHRC) is about the interaction between one or more human operator(s) and one or more robot(s) in direct contact and voluntarily exchanging forces to accomplish a common task. In any pHRC, the intuitiveness of the interaction has always been a priority, so that the…
We present the ANBOT, an intelligent robotic coworker for physical human-robot collaboration. The ANBOT system assists workers performing industrial abrasive blasting, shielding them from the large forces experienced during this physically demanding task. The co-operative robotic system combines the…
