Guaranteeing safety for humans in shared workspaces is not trivial. Not only must all
possible situations be provably safe, but the human must feel safe as well. While robots are …

Collaborative robots allow to relieve humans from tedious and/or tiring tasks while leaving to
the operator high-level activities, where their expertise is needed. In this paper the …

Future robots are expected to share the same workspace with humans and work in
cooperation with them to improve productivity and maintain the quality of products …

Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) for collaborative robots has become an active research
topic recently. Collaborative robots assist human workers in their tasks and improve their …

We have developed a novel assembly task partner robot to support workers in their task.
This system, PaDY (in-time Parts/tools Delivery to You robot), delivers parts and tools to a …

In this paper a novel tire workshop assistant robot is presented. The robot can load heavy
wheels and transport them in any place of the workshop, lifting the operator from the effort of …

An important task in the collaborative human-robot work-space development is ensuring
operator safety. Setting up global restriction for the overall robot movement based on worst …

A reactive motion-planning for collaborative robots using the time-layered C-spaces (TLC-
spaces) is proposed in this paper. First, the time-augmented C-space (TAC-space) is …

This paper proposes a co-worker in-time Parts/tools Delivery to You robot, PaDY, in an
automobile assembly line. Since co-worker robots share a workspace, the workers are at …

This paper proposed a novel control frame to deal with the human following issue of an
omnidirectional mobile robot. The control input is calculated based on the prediction of …
