Abstract

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) is people and robots work together in the same workspace to achieve shared goals. To ensure safety, robots need to perceive the position of the human body for planning purposes. However, there is no universal method for converting the human body into collision objects. To solve this problem, we propose an interface to convert the human body segments into collision objects in the robot planning scene. The interface estimates the human body Skinned Multi-Person Linear model (SMPL) by RGB image and measures the collision object size of the corresponding body segment. The corresponding size of collision objects are added to the corresponding positions of the human pose estimated by different types of sensors. The accuracy of human size estimation is verified on TotalMocap of AMASS. The interface with OctoMap is compared to evaluate the efficiency and the validity on interface is verified on the robot UR5e.
