Abstract

Robots are increasingly adopted across various sectors to enhance and streamline production processes. However, certain tasks still require human intervention, particularly in object transfer between humans and robots. Ensuring these transfers occur smoothly and error-free is critical. The inherent unpredictability of human actions poses a challenge, as robots are typically programmed to respond consistently to specific environmental cues, which may frequently change in dynamic settings. Addressing this issue is crucial for optimizing efficiency and safety in human-robot collaborations. To tackle this problem, our project focuses on the detection of a human ready for object transfer to facilitate human-robot interaction. We have developed a sophisticated torque controller designed to detect when a human is ready to take an object from a robot. This controller allows the robot to sense the precise moment when a human intends to take the object, enabling the robot to release it accurately and reliably. By integrating this advanced torque control mechanism, we aim to significantly improve the reliability and responsiveness of human-robot interactions, particularly in industrial applications where seamless cooperation is vital. This innovation not only enhances productivity but also ensures a higher standard of safety and ergonomics, fostering a more synergistic and effective human-robot partnership in complex production environments.
