Human-Robot Interaction in the MOnarCH project

چکیده
This paper presents the design of the human-robot interaction (HRI) architecture developed in the context of the European project MOnarCH. In this project a team of robots operates in the pediatric ward of an oncological hospital. In this scenario the robots operate for long periods interacting with the different people they encounter: children, staff, etc. We present an HRI architecture that is capable of managing the different situations that the robots might face while interacting with people. We model these interactions as multimodal dialogues in which the robot has to perceive the current situation and express itself in a cohesive and coherent manner.

In this research, as the main contribution, a comprehensive study is carried out on the mathematical modeling and analysis of the inverse kinematics and dynamics of an over-constraint three translational degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator. Due to the inconsistency between the number of equations and unknowns, the problem of obtaining the constraint forces and torques of an over-constraint m...
متن کاملWorkspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
