In the current industrial context, the importance of assessing and improving workers' health
conditions is widely recognised. Both physical and psycho-social factors contribute to …

In human-robot collaborative assembly, robots are often required to dynamically change
their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace …

Ensuring human safety is one of the most important considerations within the field of human-
robot interaction (HRI). This does not simply involve preventing collisions between humans …

Faced with the increasingly severe global aging population with fewer children, the
research, development, and application of elderly-care robots are expected to provide some …

Abstract Human–Robot Interaction challenges Artificial Intelligence in many regards:
dynamic, partially unknown environments that were not originally designed for robots; a …

In shared autonomy, a user and autonomous system work together to achieve shared goals.
To collaborate effectively, the autonomous system must know the user's goal. As such, most …

Over the last two decades, the foundations for physical human–robot interaction (pHRI) have
evolved from successful developments in mechatronics, control, and planning, leading …

In this paper we present a framework that allows a human and a robot to perform
simultaneous manipulation tasks safely in close proximity. The proposed framework is …

When a robot has to execute a shared plan with a human, a number of unexpected
situations and contingencies can happen due, essentially, to human initiative. For instance …

We present a systematic survey of computational research in humanrobot interaction (HRI)
over the past decade. Computational HRI is the subset of the field that is specifically …
