Book Synopsis An Augmented Reality Human-Robot Collaboration System by : Scott A. Green
Download or read book An Augmented Reality Human-Robot Collaboration System written by Scott A. Green and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter leads the reader through the development of the AR-HRC system from concept and background through the design of the necessary set of interfaces required to enhance human-robot interaction. It thus began by introducing the need for human-robot collaborative teams in terms of current and emerging application spaces requiring collaboration to achieve or significantly improve outcomes. In particular, the area of space exploration will require human-robot interaction at levels well beyond current state of the art or understanding. Similar terrestrial applications are outlined that will be significantly enhanced, as well. However, it was also shown that little attention has been paid to research in this field. All of these issues provided the impetus for the creation of the Augmented Reality Human-Robot Collaboration (AR-HRC) system described here. A discussion of the related work in HRI has shown that an effective system should transfer the interaction mechanisms natural for humans to the precision required for machine information. Previous work in HRI has also shown that the autonomy level of an HRI system should be variable so that it can match the needs of a given situation. In this manner the system is able to capitalize on the problem solving skills of a human while also effectively balancing that with the speed and dexterity of a robot. Prior work in HRI also highlighted the importance of situational awareness. The lack of situational awareness has been shown to decrease performance and, in certain cases, can lead to catastrophic failures. Use of natural speech has also been shown to be effective in HRI. However, speech alone is not enough to complete the grounding process in the exchange between human and robot, leading to a reduced ability to communicate as a result. Therefore, a multi-modal interface is shown to provide a more effective approach. By combining speech with gesture, a more natural interface and the requisite grounding is achieved. The multi-modal medium used for the AR-HRC system presented here is Augmented Reality, which affords both speech and gestural communication channels. The literature review therefore includes an introduction to AR and the state of the art of AR in the context of using it in a multi-modal human-robot interaction system. AR has been shown to provide a shared work space that is conducive to collaboration and at the same time increases situational awareness, enhancing its potential in this situation. AR also supports a tangible user interface, essentially allowing a person to use a real world object to.

Book Synopsis Augmented Reality for Human-Robot Collaboration by : Scott A. Green
Download or read book Augmented Reality for Human-Robot Collaboration written by Scott A. Green and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter began by establishing a need for human-robot collaboration. Human-human communication was discussed; a model for human-human collaboration created and this model was used as a reference model for human-robot collaboration. The state of humanrobot interaction was reviewed and how this interaction fits into the model of human-robot collaboration was explored. Augmented Reality technology was introduced, reviewed and how AR could be used to enhance human-robot collaboration was explored. Research directions were discussed and then design guidelines were outlined. Finally, a holistic architecture using AR as an enabling device for human-robot collaboration was presented. The model developed for human communication is based on three components; the communication channels available, the communication cues provided by each of these channels, and the technology that affects the transmission of these cues. There are three channels for communication: visual, audio and environmental. Depending on the transmission medium used, communication cues may not be effectively transmitted. Applying this model to human-robot collaboration, the characteristics of an effective human-robot collaborative system can be analyzed. An effective system should strive to allow communication cues to be transferred in all three channels. Therefore, the robot must be able to understand and exhibit audio, visual and environmental communication cues. Effective human-robot collaborative systems should make use of varying levels of autonomy. As a result, the system would better capitalize on the strengths of both the human and robot. More explicitly, the system would capitalize on the problem solving skills of a human and the speed and dexterity of a robot. Thus, a robot would be able to work autonomously, while retaining the ability to request assistance when guidance is needed or warranted. In terms of communication, a robot will be better understood and accepted if its communication behaviour more explicitly emulates that of a human. Common understanding should be reached by using the same conversational gestures used by humans, such as gaze, pointing, and hand and face gestures. Robots should also be able to interpret and display such behaviours so that their communication appears natural to their human conversational partner. Finally, Augmented Reality has many benefits that will help create a more ideal environment for human-robot collaboration and advance the capability of the communication channels discussed. AR technology allows the human to share an egocentric view with a robot, thus enabling the human and robot to ground their communication and intentions. AR also allows for an exo-centric view of the collaborative workspace affording spatial awareness. Multiple collaborators can be supported by an AR system; so multiple humans could collaborate with multiple robotic systems. Human-robot.

Download or read book Advanced Human-Robot Collaboration in Manufacturing written by Lihui Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents state-of-the-art research, challenges and solutions in the area of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in manufacturing. It enables readers to better understand the dynamic behaviour of manufacturing processes, and gives more insight into on-demand adaptive control techniques for industrial robots. With increasing complexity and dynamism in today’s manufacturing practice, more precise, robust and practical approaches are needed to support real-time shop-floor operations. This book presents a collection of recent developments and innovations in this area, relying on a wide range of research efforts. The book is divided into five parts. The first part presents a broad-based review of the key areas of HRC, establishing a common ground of understanding in key aspects. Subsequent chapters focus on selected areas of HRC subject to intense recent interest. The second part discusses human safety within HRC. The third, fourth and fifth parts provide in-depth views of relevant methodologies and algorithms. Discussing dynamic planning and monitoring, adaptive control and multi-modal decision making, the latter parts facilitate a better understanding of HRC in real situations. The balance between scope and depth, and theory and applications, means this book appeals to a wide readership, including academic researchers, graduate students, practicing engineers, and those within a variety of roles in manufacturing sectors.
