A Roadmap Towards Human-Robot Collaboration via Physical Interaction:

Francesco Nori, Head of Robotics, Google DeepMind

In this talk Francesco Nori will discuss his approach in modelling physical human-robot interaction. At the basis of this approach the idea is to model interaction as the coupling between two mechanical systems: the agent and the partner. While the agent has direct access to its internal variables (e.g. proprioception and applied forces), it can only indirectly infer the partner’s internal variables. Still these variables are fundamental to generate proficient collaborative motions during physical interaction tasks. In this sense modern robots have a blind spot since they are limited in observing human whole-body dynamics. The recently funded H2020-ICT project AnDy will resolve this blind spot by developing a sensor suit able to observe human whole body dynamics in real- time, by learning ergonomic and anticipatory models from the big data sets this suit generates, and by incorporating these models in on-line control to make collaboration more efficient.
