Multi-modal interfaces for natural Human-Robot Interaction

Abstract Recent years, manufacturing aims on increasing flexibility while maintaining productivity for satisfying emerging market needs higher product customization. Human Robot Collaboration (HRC) is able to bring about this balance by combining the benefits of manual assembly and robotic automation. When introducing a hybrid concept, safety human acceptance are vital importance achieving implementation. Fenceless coexistence may lead discomfort operators especially in cases where close Interaction (HRI) occurs. This work at designing implementing natural Human-System System-Human interaction framework that enables seamless between their “robot colleagues”. will strengthen implementation through increased: a) operator’s system’s awareness, b) trust system, decrease of: errors incidents. The overall architecture proposed system makes it scalable, flexible, applicable different collaborative scenarios enabling connectivity multiple interfaces with customizable environments according needs. performance evaluated scenario originating from automotive industry proving an intuitive can increase both robots operators.
