Seamless Interaction Design with Coexistence and Cooperation Modes for Robust Human-Robot Collaboration
About
A robot needs multiple interaction modes to robustly collaborate with a human in complicated industrial tasks. We develop a Coexistence-and-Cooperation (CoCo) human-robot collaboration system. Coexistence mode enables the robot to work with the human on different sub-tasks independently in a shared space. Cooperation mode enables the robot to follow human guidance and recover failures. A human intention tracking algorithm takes in both human and robot motion measurements as input and provides a switch on the interaction modes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of CoCo system in a use case analogous to a real world multi-step assembly task.
