Currently, a large number of industrial robots have been deployed to replace or assist
humans to perform various repetitive and dangerous manufacturing tasks. However, based …

Sharing the control of a robotic system with an autonomous controller allows a human to
reduce his/her cognitive and physical workload during the execution of a task. In recent …

Squared planar markers have become a popular method for pose estimation in applications
such as autonomous robots, unmanned vehicles and virtual trainers. The markers allow …

Smart manufacturing and smart factories depend on automation and robotics, whereas
human–robot collaboration (HRC) contributes to increasing the effectiveness and …

Collaborative robotics is an umbrella term that conveys the general idea of proximity
between machines and humans for some useful tasks in a shared space, with a range of …

The paper introduces a security framework for the application of human-robot collaboration
in a futuristic industrial cyber-physical system (CPS) context of industry 4.0. The basic …

Popular non-normative terms in robot safety, including “co-existence”,“collaboration”,“
cooperation”,“collaborative robot”,“cobot”, are used inconsistently in technical literature and …

Autonomy is increasingly demanded to industrial manipulators. Robots have to be capable
to regulate their behavior to different operational conditions, adapting to the specific task to …

In this study, we present a road map from shared to full autonomy for human-in-the-loop
mobile robot navigation systems. We proposed a shared autonomy framework that …

Large-scale data is an essential component of machine learning as demonstrated in recent
advances in natural language processing and computer vision research. However …
