Human-robot interactions (HRI) happen in a wide range of situations. Safety is one of the
biggest concerns in HRI. This paper proposes a safe set method for designing the robot …

To address the safety issues in human robot interactions (HRI), a safe set algorithm (SSA)
was developed previously. However, during HRI, the uncertainty levels are changing in …

Human workers and robots are two major workforces in modern factories. For safety
reasons, they are separated, which limits the productive potentials of both parties. It is …

Recent advances in robotics suggest that human–robot interaction (HRI) is no longer a
fantasy, but is happening in various fields such as industrial robots, autonomous vehicles …

The integration of industrial robots into the human workspace presents a set of unique
challenges. This paper introduces a new sensory system for modeling, tracking, and …

In human-robot interaction (HRI) and especially in close or physical interaction, it is essential
to ensure the human's safety. This is achieved by introducing virtual constraints defining a …

Safety and efficiency are two crucial factors for human-robot collaboration. It is challenging
to ensure human safety while not sacrificing the task efficiency. In this letter, we present a …

In human-robot interaction, it is essential to ensure that the robot poses no threat to the
human. Especially in applications that require close or physical interaction, eg, collaborative …

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 …

Many future application scenarios of robotics envision robotic agents to be in close physical
interaction with humans: On the factory floor, robotic agents shall support their human co …
