Основные понятия
Anticipating human behavior is crucial for robots to interact with humans safely and efficiently, and integrating this capability into mobile manipulation robots can lead to safer navigation and more efficient collaboration in tasks like furniture arrangement.
Статистика
The minimum safety distance maintained by the robot with anticipation was at least 82 cm for the HSR robot and 50 cm for the TIAGo robot.
Without anticipation, the worst-case distance between the robots and the human was only 11 cm for the HSR robot and 8 cm for the TIAGo robot.
The anticipated collaboration in the furniture carrying task was completed on average 26 seconds faster than the user interface-based baseline.
Цитаты
"Humans anticipate the actions of others in their surroundings and plan their own actions accordingly. This ability makes interaction more intuitive, efficient, safe, and natural. Robots, however, often lack this ability and are perceived as unpredictable, leading to unsafe interactions."
"This work presents approaches for anticipating human behavior in two natural interaction and collaboration scenarios."
"Our experiments indicate that anticipating human behavior allows for safer navigation and more efficient collaboration."
