In this work, we present a real-time approach for human-aware motion replanning using a two-level hierarchical architecture. The lower level leverages stable dynamical systems to generate motor commands and to online reshape the robot trajectories. The reshaping strategy modifies the velocity of the robot to match three requirements: i) to increase the human safety in case of close interaction with the robot, ii) to guarantee the correct task execution in case of unforeseen obstacles (including the human), and iii) to replan online the current task taking into account the human behavior. The lower level has to execute all needed computations in real-time. To this end, we also propose a novel approach that leverages depth space structure and parallel programming to rapidly and accurately estimate the robot-obstacle distances. The higher level of the architecture monitors the human and provides to the lower level information about the human status. The proposed approach has been tested in a human robot interaction scenario, showing promising results in terms of safe human-robot coexistence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
