This year, the FourByThree consortium has also worked towards hosting a special session at IEEE’s conference on Emerging Technologies And Factory Automation (ETFA), which will take place in Limassol (Cyprus) on September 12-15 2017.
Finally, three of the papers dealing on safe human-robot collaboration (including currently available technologies, planning and scheduling, verification and dependability, long-term autonomy, as well as the human perspective) have been accepted by the organizing committee and will be presented in a regular technical session.
Paper 1)
Norbert Druml, Bernhard Rutte-Vas, Sandra Wilfling, Cristina Consani, Marcus Baumgart, Thomas Herndl and Gerald Holweg
Safety-Critical Human Detection featuring Time-of-Flight Environment Perception
Paper 2)
Ramez Awad and Manuel Fechter
Integrated Risk Assessment and Safety Consideration during Design of HRC Workplaces
Paper 3)
Amedeo Cesta, Giulio Bernardi, Andrea Orlandini and Alessandro Umbrico
Dynamic Task Planning for Highly Flexible Human-Robot Collaboration: a Software Environment
We wish to thank all contributors for their efforts, as well as to congratulate the authors of the accepted papers.
