There are many examples of cases where access to improved models of human behavior and cognition has allowed the creation of robots that can better interact with humans, and not least in road vehicle automation, this is a rapidly growing area of research. Human–robot interaction (HRI) therefore provides an important applied setting for human behavior modeling—but given the vast … [Read more...] about Models of Human Behavior for Human–Robot Interaction and Automated Driving: How Accurate Do the Models of Human Behavior Need to Be?

The ILIAD Safety Stack: Human-Aware Infrastructure-Free Navigation of Industrial Mobile Robots
Current intralogistics services require keeping up with e-commerce demands, reducing delivery times and waste, and increasing overall flexibility. As a consequence, the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and, more recently, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for logistics operations is steadily increasing. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about The ILIAD Safety Stack: Human-Aware Infrastructure-Free Navigation of Industrial Mobile Robots
Safe and Effective Collaboration With a High-Payload Robot: A Framework Integrating Novel Hardware and Software Modules
Human–robot collaboration has demonstrated its potential to increase efficiency and productivity in industry. However, inherently safe collaborative robots offer limited payloads and are unsuitable for many heavy lifting and manipulation tasks that would benefit from collaboration. The use of high-payload robots in physical human–robot interaction poses significant safety and … [Read more...] about Safe and Effective Collaboration With a High-Payload Robot: A Framework Integrating Novel Hardware and Software Modules
Electronic Skin as Human–Robot Interface for Human Grasp Recognition in Home-Care Robots: Introducing a Complete Set of Resources
Population aging has highlighted the significance of developing home-care robots to assist human life. However, traditional home-care robots work according to fixed procedures, which lack human–robot interaction to mimic human hand action. Human–robot interfaces provide an opportunity for interactions between robots and users, which play an important role in home-care robots. … [Read more...] about Electronic Skin as Human–Robot Interface for Human Grasp Recognition in Home-Care Robots: Introducing a Complete Set of Resources
A Robust Visual Servoing Controller for Anthropomorphic Manipulators With Field-of-View Constraints and Swivel-Angle Motion
Human–robot collaboration has attracted significant attention in the industry due to the flexibility of humans and the accuracy of robots. Humanoid control of anthropomorphic robotic arms combined with visual servoing will enhance the intelligence of industrial robots. However, the robotic manipulator will introduce psychological discomfort to nearby humans, and the loss of … [Read more...] about A Robust Visual Servoing Controller for Anthropomorphic Manipulators With Field-of-View Constraints and Swivel-Angle Motion
