Human safety has always been the main priority when working near an industrial robot. With the rise of Human-Robot Collaborative environments, physical barriers to avoiding collisions have been disappearing, increasing the risk of accidents…
We introduce a framework for cooperative manipulation, applied on an underactuated manipulation problem. Two stationary robotic manipulators are required to cooperate in order to reposition an object within their shared work space. Control…
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into high-stakes domains like healthcare, effective collaboration between healthcare experts and AI systems is critical. Data-centric steering, which involves fine-tuning…
Lateral assistance systems are a significant part of the currently existing Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS). In most cases, such systems provide intermittent audio and haptic feedback rather than continuous feedback, making it…
Maximizing the utility of human-robot teams in disaster response and search and rescue (SAR) missions remains to be a challenging problem. This is due to the dynamic, uncertain nature of the environment and the variability in cognitive…
Driver assistance systems, also called automated driving systems, allow drivers to immerse themselves in non-driving-related tasks. Unfortunately, drivers may not trust the automated driving system, which prevents either handing over the…
Highway pilot assist has become the front line of competition in advanced driver assistance systems. The increasing requirements on safety and user acceptance are calling for personalization in the development process of such systems.…
Shared control allows the human driver to collaborate with an assistive driving system while retaining the ability to make decisions and take control if necessary. However, human-vehicle teaming and planning are challenging due to…
A fruitful collaboration is based on the mutual knowledge of each other skills and on the possibility of communicating their own limits and proposing alternatives to adapt the execution of a task to the capabilities of the collaborators.…
Collaborative manipulation is inherently multimodal, with haptic communication playing a central role. When performed by humans, it involves back-and-forth force exchanges between the participants through which they resolve possible…
This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy based on hybrid systems theory, nonlinear control, and safety-critical systems to enable cooperative locomotion of robotic guide dogs and visually impaired people. We address…
The reliability of current autonomous driving systems is often jeopardized in situations when the vehicle's field-of-view is limited by nearby occluding objects. To mitigate this problem, vehicle-to-vehicle communication to share sensor…
The steadily increasing level of automation in human-centred systems demands rigorous design methods for analysing and controlling interactions between humans and automated components, especially in safety-critical applications. The…
This paper presents a bimanual haptic display based on collaborative robot arms. We address the limitations of existing robot arm-based haptic displays by optimizing the setup configuration and implementing inertia/friction compensation…
Cooperative automated vehicles exchange information to assist each other in creating a more precise and extended view of their surroundings, with the aim of improving automated-driving decisions. This paper addresses the need for scalable…
In shared control, advances in autonomous robotics are applied to help empower a human user in operating a robotic system. While these systems have been shown to improve efficiency and operation success, users are not always accepting of…
With the adoption of autonomous vehicles on our roads, we will witness a mixed-autonomy environment where autonomous and human-driven vehicles must learn to co-exist by sharing the same road infrastructure. To attain socially-desirable…
Skull base surgery is a demanding field in which surgeons operate in and around the skull while avoiding critical anatomical structures including nerves and vasculature. While image-guided surgical navigation is the prevailing standard,…
Achieving effective and seamless human-robot collaboration requires two key outcomes: enhanced team performance and fostering a positive human perception of both the robot and the collaboration. This paper investigates the capability of the…
Aiming for a society where humans and automated vehicles can coexist cooperatively, understanding what constitutes cooperative and trustworthy behaviour is essential to designing automated vehicle controllers that enable the integration of…
