Perirobot Space Representation for HRI: Measuring and Designing Collaborative Workspace Coverage by Diverse Sensors

Jakub Rozlivek,Petr Svarny,Matej Hoffmann,Jakub Rozlivek,Petr Svarny,Matej Hoffmann

Two regimes permitting safe physical human-robot interaction, speed and separation monitoring and safety-rated monitored stop, depend on reliable perception of the space surrounding the robot. This can be accomplished by visual sensors (like cameras, RGB-D cameras, LIDARs), proximity sensors, or dedicated devices used in industrial settings like pads that are activated by the presence of the opera...
