Special issue: Autonomous Physical Human–Robot Interaction

Abstract

The design of robots that are able to operate in physical contact with
humans and directly interact with them in an intuitive
and safe manner has been intensively studied from numerous perspectives.
Recently, applications that involve physical Human–
Robot Interaction (pHRI) even entered factory floors, making pHRI an
important topic of current robotics research. The problem
was addressed from the design, control, and motion planning aspects,
leading to very powerful solutions to the specific subcases
of the general interaction problem; however, the fields were often
treated separately from each other and a unifying
holistic concept is still lacking. Furthermore, the autonomous execution
of complex physical interaction tasks remains an open
problem. It especially necessitates the systematic combination of
higher-level cognitive perception–action loops with underlying
low-level control behavior.

My idea about #Robotics

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Tampalini

What is industrial robotics?

An is defined by ISO^[1] as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes. The field of robotics may be more practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing (a top-level definition relying on the prior definition of robot).

Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, pick and place, packaging and palletizing, product inspection, and testing, all accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision… (cit. Wikipedia)
