Single-robot Markov localization techniques have proven to be robust and effective in real-world environments, in particular sample-based techniques such as Monté Carlo methods. These methods have experimentally been show to successfully localize in realtime onboard an actual robot in real-world environments. Recent work has extended such methods to the multi-robot localization domain with some...

Robot safety standards defines Collaborative Operation as a state in which purposely designed robots work direct cooperation with human within defined workspace. That is, an operator and industrial robot complete assembly tasks at the collaborative A prerequisite to ensuring during all phases of operation is understanding nature hazards pertinent systems. An automotive station, where plastic pa...

This letter studies real-time collaborative robot (cobot) handling, where the cobot maneuvers an object under human dynamic gesture commands. Enabling commands is useful when needs to avoid direct contact with or handled by robot. However, key challenge lies in heterogeneity behaviors and stochasticity perception of gestures, which requires handling policy be adaptable robust. To address these ...

The aimof this paper is to investigate performance in a collaborative human–robot interaction on a shared serious game task. Furthermore, the effect of elicited emotions and perceived social behavior categories on players’ performance will be investigated. The participants collaboratively played a turn-taking version of the Tower of Hanoi serious game, together with the human and robot collabor...

We have recently developed Java applications which can be deployed on the Internet to provide collaborative learning between students and tutors at remote locations. Students can engage in group activities online and collaborate with tutors in a Distance Learning mode. There are three applications: First a digital circuit simulator which allows students to collaborate in building simple or comp...

The development of a humanoid robot in the collaborative research centre 588 has the objective of creating a machine that closely cooperates with humans. The collaborative research centre 588 (SFB588) “Humanoid Robots – learning and cooperating multi-modal robots” was established by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in Karlsruhe in May 2000. The SFB588 is a cooperation of the University of K...

Collaborative robots are becoming increasingly important for advanced manufacturing processes. The purpose of this paper is to determine the capability a novel Human-Robot-interface be used machine hole drilling. Using developed voice activation system, environmental factors on speech recognition accuracy considered. research investigates Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients-based feature extrac...

Rapid robotic system development has created a demand for multi-disciplinary methods and tools to explore and compare design alternatives. In this paper, we present a collaborative modeling technique that combines discrete-event models of controller software with continuous-time models of physical robot components. The proposed co-modeling method utilizes the Vienna development method (VDM) and...

introduction: collaborative testing is a learning strategy that provides students with the opportunity to learn and practice collaboration. this study aimed to determine the effect of collaborative testing on test performance and retention of course content in nursing students of shiraz university of medical sciences, shiraz, iran. methods: this quasi-experimental study was carried out on 84 st...

Communication is an important capability for multi-robot exploration because (1) inter-robot communication (comms) improves coverage efficiency and (2) robot-to-base comms situational awareness. Exploring comms-restricted (e.g., subterranean) environments requires a system to tolerate anticipate intermittent connectivity, carefully consider requirements, otherwise mission-critical data may be l...
