Titel
Modelling proxemics for human-technology-interaction in decentralized social-robot-systems
Abstract
Automation in production and logistics facilities has drastically been increased in the past decades in a way that human workers are continually confronted with robots in their working environment. In this paper, we present the approach to model interactions between workers and our socially interacting AGV EMILI by using elliptic, worker dependent zones in free navigation so that it is possible to navigate around humans while respecting their individual distances. We use the human agent to save and update the information about his or her personal zones. An AGV, which needs to pass by the human, communicates with his or her human agent to retrieve this information and then calculates a path, which respects the persons preferred distance.
