让机器人在工厂与人协作时既安全又自然,提升人类接受度。
Safe, Fluent and Acceptable Motion Generation and Execution for Human--Robot Interaction in Manufacturing Environments

- 基于模型预测控制设计四种社会感知的机器人运动行为
- 用户实验显示不同行为对人类感知的接受度影响显著
- 融合心理认知与社交因素,适合人机协作场景研究者
在人类工作环境中运行的机器人不仅需确保物理安全,还需表现出可理解、流畅且符合人类期待的行为。本文研究了将安全保证与交互质量(如运动平滑性与人体舒适度)相结合的运动生成策略。尽管现有技术已实现共享环境中机器人的安全保障,但更近距离的任务要求超越纯技术考量,需从心理认知与社会层面审视机器人行为。为此,我们提出将社会感知运动控制融入机器人系统:首先识别影响人类感知的关键运动参数;其次构建基于模型预测控制(MPC)的框架,生成四种社会感知型机器人行为;最后通过用户研究评估这些行为并分析其社会影响,参与者为非专家人员。结果表明,机器人行为差异显著影响系统的社会可接受性,强调在共享环境中的运动生成中融入以人为中心的设计至关重要。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robots operating in human environments must not only ensure physical safety but also exhibit behaviors that are understandable, fluent, and acceptable to human partners. This paper investigates motion generation strategies that combine safety guarantees with interaction quality considerations, such as motion smoothness and human comfort. While the design of robots capable of ensuring safety in shared human-robot environments has enabled closer and more advanced forms of interaction, these new proximity-based tasks require moving beyond purely technical considerations. In particular, robot behavior must also be addressed from psycho-cognitive and social perspectives. In this context, we argue for the relevance of integrating social-aware motion control into robotic systems. First, we identify the motion parameters that influence human perception and operator experience. Then, we implement a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework that generates four distinct socially-informed robot behaviors. Finally, we conduct a user study to evaluate and validate these behaviors and assess their social impact on non-expert participants. The results demonstrate that variations in robot behavior significantly affect the perceived social acceptability of the system. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating human-centered considerations into motion generation strategies for robots operating in shared environments.
