Quantifying human-robot interaction by developing a measure for safe collaboration (2024)
Thesis

This research investigated whether human motion prediction by an assistive robot can always lead to a safe and efficient human-robot interaction. Using human motion, prediction can encourage interaction in close physical proximity and can help build...

A study on the effects of cognitive overloading and distractions on human movement during robot-assisted dressing (2022)
Journal Article

For robots that can provide physical assistance, maintaining synchronicity of the robot and human movement is a precursor for interaction safety. Existing research on collaborative HRI does not consider how synchronicity can be affected if humans are...

Learning from carers to inform the design of safe physically assistive robots - Insights from a focus group study (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This research investigates how professional carers physically assist frail older adults. Carers were asked to discuss their approach and steps for providing safe physical assistance and highlight hazards that assistive robots would have to deal with...

Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

To achieve safe close-proximity human-robot interaction , particularly for physically assitive tasks, robot motion planning needs to recognize and adapt to the behaviour of humans in the long-term. Generally, motion prediction with probabilistic conf... Read More about Towards establishing a 'cooperation' measure for coupled movement in close-proximity human-robot interaction.
