Human robot collaboration
Integration of robots in human society
• Robot: Computer with hands • Actuation on environment
• Important issues • Safety • Level of autonomy • human-robot interaction
• Physical and cognitive levels • collaboration and shift of authority between humans and robots
• Acquired intelligence • Machine learning • Global learning: all robots learn together
• Robot responsibility • Insurance • Ethics, morality
Sense of urgency
• Lack of manpower in westernized societies
• More added value per employee in production in order to keep up our wealthy standard of living and to compete with low wage countries
• Many new applications and services will evolve, similarly as has happened after the introduction of computers.
• Competition between westernized countries (Germany, USA, Japan, China) in modern manufacturing in important areas as agriculture, high-precision devices, high-variety products, etc.

Robotics in Healthcare
• Physical assistance of healthcare workers
• Rehabilitation
• Patient lifting
• Assistive devices
• Exoskeleton for walking
• Gyrobackpack for balance
• Care robot
• Robot companions
• Charlie
• LEA: Lean Elderly Assistant
Diagnostic robots
• Neurological disorders
• Impose force perturbations and measure responses
• Estimate reflex strength
• Modulation is poor in stroke patients and Parkinson’s disease
Human / Robot Physical
Interface
1. Assistive device for lifting patients
2. Collaboration between caregiver and robot
Science

LEA: Lean Elderly Assistant
• LEA is an autonomous
stroller
• that helps you live an
independent live
• supports walking, sitting
and standing
• gives you exercises and
dances with you
• comes to you when you
call her
• reminds of appointments
and to-do’s
• communicates with family
and friends
• alerts when falling, and
calls the caregiver

Future plans: “Seamlessly integrating robots in human society”
• Nationwide consortium on robotics
• TUD, TU/e, UT, VU, RU, UU
• Robots as new species in evolution:
• Global learning
• Simple and dedicated vs complex and general
• Domesticating robots !
• Safety, responsibility, psychology, social sciences
• Robot ‘free zone’ in the city of Delft
• Application areas:
• Home, public environment, industry, agriculture, healthcare
