As the cornerstone of effective HRC implementations, human activity recognition (HAR) is indispensable for accurate understanding of human operational intent and improving HRC in dynamic industrial environments. Recently, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) based on skeleton data have become the most popular methods for HAR. Existing approaches frequently overlook the critical design of topology graphs and skeleton features, resulting in delayed responses and incorrect decisions in HRC systems. To address these challenges, we propose an adaptive human skeleton Tree-Decomposition approach (ATD-GCN). First, the Tree-Decomposition (TD) graph is defined by dividing skeleton nodes into levels with consistent semantic information, where adjacent levels are connected through three hierarchies. Second, we develop a Hierarchical Attention (HA) module to adaptively emphasize the dominant hierarchy within the TD graph. Furthermore, we apply 6DoF theory to the design of skeleton features and develop a multi-stream network integration strategy. Finally, we conduct comprehensive experiments on three datasets and validate the method in the HRC workshop. Experimental results show that our model achieves outstanding performance while remaining lightweight. The proposed ATD-GCN approach makes substantial contributions to HRC by enabling more responsive and adaptive robot behavior through enhanced HAR, thus advancing the development of human-centric smart manufacturing systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21452,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Computer-integrated Manufacturing","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 103019"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143714362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a drive control perspective, this results in a more favorable system behavior, which, in turn, allows the selection of more performant control parameter values. This leads to better tracking and disturbance behavior. The aim of this paper is to transfer the semi-active damping with a low-cost additional actuator to cascade-controlled industrial robots.
