Description

Starting Point and Goal

In modern industrial facilities, mobile robots increasingly share workspace with human employees. Despite this coexistence, interactions between humans and robots have not yet reached the efficiency and safety levels possible in human-to-human encounters. Scientific research is exploring various approaches to improve these interactions, including human-aware navigation and explicit communication strategies (see right). The goal of this thesis is to conduct a comprehensive literature review and analysis to provide a systematic overview of existing scientific approaches aimed at enhancing the efficiency and/or safety of interactions with mobile robots.

Possible Tasks

To evaluate the metrics of the study, a measurement system should be set up and put into operation, and finally, the evaluation should be carried out:

• Research into various approaches (optional also from related fields)
• Systematic analysis of studies and observed effects
  + evaluation and assessment
• Structured overview of research findings
• Identification of the most promising approaches

Requirements

Requirements:

• Independent and structured working style

• Very good command of (German and) English

Advantageous:

• Interest in Human-Robot Interaction

• Enjoyment of scientific research & literature work
