A Continuum Approach to Safe Robots for Physical Human Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing need for robots that can not only function in close proximity to human beings but also physically interact with them safely. We believe inherent safety is extremely important for robots in human environments. In this paper, we identify key design paradigms for robots that can safely perform physical human robot interaction (pHRI). We believe soft robots can incorporate these design paradigms easily. One such soft robot prototype, a continuum arm developed by us, is described in this paper.

Continuum Robots: An Approach to Safer Robots
There is a growing need for robots that can not only function in close proximity to human beings but also physically interact with them safely. This calls for a paradigm shift in the way robots are designed. Towards this end, we propose the use of continuum robots to improve safety in physical human robot interaction (pHRI). Continuum robots have been looked at in the past for applications whic...
متن کاملA Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres
This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...
متن کاملExperimental Identification and Hybrid PID-Fuzzy Position Control of Continuum Robotic Arms
Continuum robotic arms that are inspired from nature, have many advantages compared to traditional robots, which motivate researchers in this field. Dynamic modeling and controlling these robots are challenging subjects due to complicated nonlinearities and considerable uncertainties existing in these structures. In this paper, first a dynamic three-dimensional model of the continuum robotic ar...
متن کاملSafe Motion Planning for Human - Robot Interaction : Design and Experiments
Robots have been successfully employed in industrial settings to improve productivity and perform dangerous or monotonous tasks. More recently, attention has turned to the use of robots to aid humans outside the industrial environment, in places such as the home or office. For example, as the population in the developed world ages, robots that can interact with humans in a safe and friendly man...
