Abstract

Abstract A significant challenge in human–robot collaboration (HRC) is coordinating robot and human motions. Discoordination can lead to production delays and human discomfort. Prior works seek coordination by planning robot paths that consider humans or their anticipated occupancy as static obstacles, making them nearsighted and prone to entrapment by human motion. This work presents the spatio-temporal avoidance of predictions-prediction and planning framework (STAP-PPF) to improve robot–human coordination in HRC. STAP-PPF predicts multi-step human motion sequences based on the locations of objects the human manipulates. STAP-PPF then proactively determines time-optimal robot paths considering predicted human motion and robot speed restrictions anticipated according to the ISO15066 speed and separation monitoring (SSM) mode. When executing robot paths, STAP-PPF continuously updates human motion predictions. In real-time, STAP-PPF warps the robot’s path to account for continuously updated human motion predictions and updated SSM effects to mitigate delays and human discomfort. Results show the STAP-PPF generates robot trajectories of shorter duration. STAP-PPF robot trajectories also adapted better to real-time human motion deviation. STAP-PPF robot trajectories also maintain greater robot/human separation throughout tasks requiring close human–robot interaction. Tests with an assembly sequence demonstrate STAP-PPF’s ability to predict multi-step human tasks and plan robot motions for the sequence. STAP-PPF also most accurately estimates robot trajectory durations, within 30% of actual, which can be used to adapt the robot sequencing to minimize disruption.
主动人机协作的时空预测与规划框架
人机协作(HRC)的一个重要挑战是协调机器人和人的运动。不协调会导致生产延迟和人类不适。先前的工作通过规划机器人路径来寻求协调,将人类或他们预期的占用视为静态障碍,使它们近视,容易被人类运动困住。本研究提出了一种时空回避预测-预测和规划框架(STAP-PPF),以改善人机协调。STAP-PPF基于人类操作对象的位置预测多步人类运动序列。然后,STAP-PPF根据ISO15066速度和分离监测(SSM)模式,考虑预测的人类运动和机器人速度限制,主动确定时间最优的机器人路径。在执行机器人路径时,STAP-PPF不断更新人类运动预测。在实时情况下,STAP-PPF会扭曲机器人的路径,以解释不断更新的人类运动预测和更新的SSM效应,以减轻延误和人类的不适。结果表明,STAP-PPF生成的机器人轨迹持续时间较短。STAP-PPF机器人的轨迹也能更好地适应实时的人体运动偏差。STAP-PPF机器人轨迹还在需要密切人机交互的任务中保持更大的机器人/人分离。装配序列的测试证明了STAP-PPF预测多步骤人类任务和计划机器人运动序列的能力。STAP-PPF还可以最准确地估计机器人的轨迹持续时间,在实际的30%以内,这可以用来调整机器人的排序,以尽量减少干扰。
