Visual monitoring of human behaviour during work activities is important for task progress monitoring to support fluency in human-robot collaboration, and for worker safety in industrial environments by assessing potential ergonomic risks through posture analysis. Ongoing integration activities of ICCS and FORTH aim to a) optimise the real-time extraction of 3D human pose information by…

CAL-TEK is working on Phase II of the FELICE system prototype where new parts and functionalities of the Digital Twin will be released. In particular, the Phase II prototype of the Digital Twin will include a Real-Time Virtual Simulation environment. Real-Time Virtual Simulation is an approach to provide a more realistic testing environment for the…

The introduction of human-robot collaboration does not necessarily result in improving work. From the point of ergonomics, automation technology should also result in an increase in human well-being. This is one major focus of the FELICE project. How can the resilience and endurance of a robot be combined with the cognitive abilities of humans? Classically,…

The Institute for Human Factors and Ergonomics (TUD) entered the second phase of development for the Adaptive Workstation (AWS). The goal of the system is to adapt specific workplace dimensions to fit the individual needs of workers in assembly automatically. In FELICE, this includes the adaptation of the work object’s position for two degrees of…

A. Papadaki and M. Pateraki published a new peer-reviewed FELICE publication in the Journal of Imaging titled ‘6D Object Localization in Car-Assembly Industrial Environment’. In this work, a visual object detection and localization workflow integrated into a robotic platform is presented for the single-view 6D pose estimation of objects with challenging characteristics in terms of weak…

Human-Robot Collaboration & AI in challenging industrial applications Collaborative robots (HRC) in many industries are underused, being regarded as expensive hi-tech tools with limited autonomy and intelligence that can only relieve workers of physical fatigue. To overcome these and other negative preconceptions, we must show how robots can learn to understand tasks at hand and…
