Safety in human-robot interaction can be divided into physical safety and perceived safety,
where the latter is still under-addressed in the literature. Investigating perceived safety in …

Safety is a fundamental prerequisite that must be addressed before any interaction of robots
with humans. Safety has been generally understood and studied as the physical safety of …

In the era of industrialization and automation, safety is a critical factor that should be
considered during the design and realization of each new system that targets operation in …

The vision of seamless human-robot interaction in our everyday life that allows for tight
cooperation between human and robot has not become reality yet. However, the recent …

Ensuring human safety is one of the most important considerations within the field of human-
robot interaction (HRI). This does not simply involve preventing collisions between humans …

For many applications where interaction between robots and older people takes place,
safety and security are key dimensions to consider.'Safety'refers to a perceived threat of …

In recent years there has been a concerted effort to address many of the safety issues
associated with physical human–robot interaction (pHRI). However, a number of challenges …
