Sharework project promotes a new Call for Papers to be presented in the Special Session “Safe Human-Robot Cooperation and Collaboration in manufacturing environments” of the International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (IEEE RO-MAN 2022). The event will be celebrated on 29th August – 2nd September in Naples, Italy.
This special session is focused on critical challenges for cobots that remain to be addressed in order to enable their effective and sustainable deployment in real-word operational settings, including the following main aspects, among others:
- Safe interaction, including safety standards and collaborative operating modes, respecting and predicting the human co-worker’s space,
- Intuitive interfaces, including programming approaches, input modes and reality enhancement,
- Design methods, including task planning and allocation, control laws and sensors.
The submission deadline is the 15th of March, 2022
Papers submitted can be focused on some of these different key topics:
- Large-scale multi-agent human-robot collaborative learning
- Learning from (human) demonstration
- Advanced AI technologies in HRC
- Deployment of robotic systems in manufacturing environments
- Safety issues in HRC
- Collaborative task assignment and planning in HRC
- New functions for enriching Robotics Standards
- Human detection, tracking and proximity sensing in HRC
- Human-aware Task and Motion planning in realistic environments
- Human activity modeling and prediction in HRC
- Communication and coordination between human and robot
- Tactile sensing and physical human robot interaction
- Multi-modal interaction/interfaces in HRC
- Failure detection and recovery in HRC control systems
- Human factors analysis in HRC
- Trust in HRC schemes
- Evaluation methods for HRC workplaces and process (productivity, flexibility etc.)
- Cognitive architectures for human-robot collaboration and learning
- Ergonomics of HRC (Physical, Intensity of signals, alarms, visual field etc.)
