Funded Activity Summary

Assistive Robotic Systems for Augmenting Human Strength in Industrial Applications. A theoretical foundation needs to be developed in order for assistive robots to collaborate with human workers and optimise the capabilities of both the human and the robot. This project aims to develop methodologies that enable assistive robots to augment the strength of humans conducting physically demanding work, such as abrasive blasting, in complex industrial environments. It aims to address research challenges associated with perception and control of robotic systems that provide assistance as- needed physical support to a worker intuitively and safely. The ultimate objectives are to improve productivity and reduce injuries. The outcomes intend to have significant and immediate impacts on assistive robotics research and industrial applications.
