Towards Coexistence of Human and Robot: How Ubiquitous Computing Can Contribute?

  • Conference paper
Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications 3

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 345))

Abstract

After the ISO 10218-1/2 in 2011, safety factors for industry robot are standardized. As robotics expands its area from industry further into service, educational, healthcare and etc., both human and robot are exposed to a space with more openness and less certainty. Because there is no common safety specification, we raise in this paper our own hypotheses on the safety requirements in dense human-robot co-existing scenarios and focus more on demonstrating the possibilities provided by the research field named Ubiquitous Computing.
