Proactive Intention-based Safety through Human Location Anticipation in HRI Workspace

Abstract

The safety involved in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is an important issue. This is the key point for the increase or decrease in HRI activity. A novel solution concerning the safety of HRI is proposed. The solution considers the near future human intentions. A set of possible human intentions is known to the robot. The robot also knows the places that can be visited by the interacting human according to his current intention. The proposed solution enables the robot to avoid a potential collision by anticipating the future human location and dividing the workspace into safe and unsafe zones. The solution contributes for the improvement of HRI safety measures but further efforts are required for achieving an enhanced safety level.
