Behind the wall
Human robot interaction and collaboration with a visual barrier
In the past, Industrial robots typically operated in caged spaces separate from humans to ensure safety
Technological advances enabled the development of smaller robots with better, cheaper sensors and better safety measures
Collaborative robots (co-bots): a class of robots designed to interact in proximity (or direct contact) with humans
- Automating specific subtasks of complex processes
- High precision and repeatability
- Smaller payloads
- Higher safety
Project Goals
- To investigate ways to create an environment where humans and robots can seamlessly and safely collaborate on complex tasks in the absence of direct line-of-sight
- Explore different tools for robot-to-human intent communication and signaling
