Title
Human Robot Collaboration for Folding Fabrics Based on Force/RGB-D Feedback.
Abstract
In this paper, the human-robot collaboration for executing complicated handling tasks for folding non-rigid objects is investigated. A hierarchical control system is developed for the co-manipulation task of folding sheets like fabrics/cloths. The system is based on force and RGB-D feedback in both higher and lower control levels of the process. In the higher level, the perception of the human's intention is used for deciding the robot's action; in the lower level the robot reacts to the force/RGB-D feedback to follow human guidance. The proposed approach is tested in folding a rectangular piece of fabric. Experiments showed that the developed robotic system is able to track the human's movement in order to help her/him to accomplish the folding co-manipulation task.
