(ISC23) On contextual perception of workers in complex production environments

New international publication at the 60th ISC.

We are delighted to present our new paper, “On contextual perception of workers in complex production environments”, that is now officially published in the proceedings of the 60th lmenau Scientific Colloquium.

Abstract

In this work we focus on the challenges of perceiving and coordinating spatial actions between humans and robots in production systems. We address the fundamental questions of how the affective states of individuals in the production process can be visually captured and interpreted in order to facilitate intuitive interactions without explicit commands. Additionally, we investigate methods to analyze the environment and action context in a semantic scene to anticipate user and action intentions. Lastly, we formulate decision approaches to derive appropriate interaction strategies based on affective user states and intentions in the scene context to improve productive collaboration between humans and robots in production environments. By addressing these challenges, this work aims to improve the efficiency of productive teaming processes in production systems.
