Development of Human-Robot Interaction and Collaboration Systems Using Augmented Reality and Deep Learning
As innovative technology and its applications are growing rapidly, humans’ tasks and roles have changed and become diverse in the human-technology interaction. This project seeks to understand both human cognitive skills (e.g., attention, memory, learning, problem-solving) and limitations (e.g., human error) to explore how humans interact with user interfaces using gesture, speech, eye glance, multi-modality, virtual/augmented reality, sensor, etc.
The research team is developing a deep learning-based intelligent system that detects injury hazards that can occur while humans collaborate with robots at work. This system will use augmented reality technology to present hazard exposure information to human workers. A usability evaluation will be conducted to assess how effective the system is in reducing injury risk in human-robot collaboration.
