The paper presents research to develop the peripersonal space (PPS) representation in robots through a self-supervised learning procedure, which is motivated by the development of perception and…

Collision Preventing Phase-Progress Control for Velocity Adaptation in Human-Robot Collaboration

New approaches to robot velocity modulation are proposed that dynamically determine the possible robot-induced collisions and apply a novel velocity modulating approach, in which the phase progress of the robot trajectory is modulated while the desired robot path remains intact.

Sensorimotor Representation Learning for an “Active Self” in Robots: A Model Survey

This paper provides a survey of robotics models of these sensory representations of body schema, peripersonal space, and the active self in humans and proposes a theoretical computational framework, which aims to allow the emergence of the sense of self in artificial agents by developing sensory representations through self-exploration.

Contact Anticipation for Physical Human–Robot Interaction with Robotic Manipulators using Onboard Proximity Sensors

A framework that unites obstacle avoidance and deliberate physical interaction for robotic manipulators is presented, which allows a manipulator with onboard proximity sensors to track nearby objects and reduce contact forces in anticipation of a collision.

Toward safe separation distance monitoring from RGB-D sensors in human-robot interaction

A framework that realizes separation distance monitoring between a robot and a human operator in a detailed, yet versatile, transparent, and tunable fashion and can be selectively modified to account for specific conditions is presented.

Merging Physical and Social Interaction for Effective Human-Robot Collaboration

A possible integration of physical and social Human-Robot Interaction methods (pHRI and sHRI respectively) is shown and possible extension with higher-level planning systems for added flexibility and reasoning skills is discussed.

A Framework for the Systematic Evaluation of Obstacle Avoidance and Object-Aware Controllers

From the analysis, it is found that the design of object-aware controllers often lacks kinematic considerations, continuity of control points, and stability in movement profiles, and this framework can be used in the future to design, compare, and benchmark obstacle avoidance methods.

Should a small robot have a small personal space? Investigating personal spatial zones and proxemic behavior in human-robot interaction

The leaning back behavior of the robot was correctly interpreted by most participants as the robot's reaction to the intrusion of its personal space; however, the implementation of the behavior was often perceived as "unfriendly".
