Occlusion-Robust Multi-Sensory Posture Estimation in Physical Human-Robot Interaction

no code implementations12 Aug 2022 Amir Yazdani, Roya Sabbagh Novin, Andrew Merryweather, Tucker Hermans

We use 2D postures from OpenPose over a single camera, and the trajectory of the interacting robot while the human performs a task.

DULA and DEBA: Differentiable Ergonomic Risk Models for Postural Assessment and Optimization in Ergonomically Intelligent pHRI

no code implementations6 May 2022 Amir Yazdani, Roya Sabbagh Novin, Andrew Merryweather, Tucker Hermans

In order to retain assessment quality, while improving computational considerations, we propose a novel framework for postural assessment and optimization for ergonomically intelligent physical human-robot interaction.

Ergonomically Intelligent Physical Human-Robot Interaction: Postural Estimation, Assessment, and Optimization

no code implementations12 Aug 2021 Amir Yazdani, Roya Sabbagh Novin, Andrew Merryweather, Tucker Hermans

We use DULA in postural optimization for physical human-robot interaction tasks such as co-manipulation and teleoperation.

DULA: A Differentiable Ergonomics Model for Postural Optimization in Physical HRI

no code implementations14 Jul 2021 Amir Yazdani, Roya Sabbagh Novin, Andrew Merryweather, Tucker Hermans

Ergonomics and human comfort are essential concerns in physical human-robot interaction applications.

Optimizing Hospital Room Layout to Reduce the Risk of Patient Falls

no code implementations8 Jan 2021 Sarvenaz Chaeibakhsh, Roya Sabbagh Novin, Tucker Hermans, Andrew Merryweather, Alan Kuntz

In this work, we formulate a gradient-free constrained optimization problem to generate and reconfigure the hospital room interior layout to minimize the risk of falls.
