Towards Human Friendly Robots: Vision-based Interfaces and Safe Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
To develop human friendly robots we required two key components ; smart interfaces and safe mechanisms. Smart interfaces facilitate natural and easy interfaces for human-robot interaction. Facial gestures can be a natural way to control a robot. In this paper, we report on a vision-based interface that in real-time tracks a user's facial features and gaze point. Human friendly robots must also have high integrity safety systems that ensure that people are never harmed. To guarantee human safety we require manipulator mechanisms in which all actuators are force controlled in a manner that prevents dangerous impacts with people and the environment. In this paper we present a control scheme for the Barrett-MIT whole arm manipulator (WAM) which allows people to safely interact with the robot.

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...

متن کاملA Review of Vision-based Perceptive Interfaces: Mouse Alternative Approaches
Graphical User Interfaces based on WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer) paradigm has been a popular choice of interfaces for many systems and has made Human-Computer interaction simpler and easier. In the past few decades great research efforts have been made to make user friendly Human-Computer Interfaces. The Perceptual User Interfaces aims to focus this new form of HCI (Human Computer Interact...
متن کاملHuman Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition
With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
