British scientists study robots and human security interaction

"Human-machine integration" and "human third arm" are the directions that large-scale robot research companies in all countries are committed to, but can robots really cooperate with humans? This is the problem being addressed by the UK's largest robotics laboratory.

It is understood that the project is a robotic interaction system (Chris), based on the assumption that the safe interaction between robots and humans can be achieved by designing robots and their "thoughts" (ie, cognitive abilities) so that robots can interact with humans. Work together to complete physical work.

To this end, scientists at the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol are studying the issue of humans working with robots in the same space. For example, in the kitchen, service robots are doing the work of mixing soup, while the chef adds cream.

Professor Chris Melhuish, director of the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, said: "When we interact with other people, we understand each other's facial expressions, body postures, gestures, intonations, share goals, understand and follow language instructions. For example, when cooking soup Not only does the robot need to know that the goal is to make the soup, but also to know how difficult it is to stir the soup; when you raise your hand, it means stopping; when the soup is accidentally splashed on you, you can understand the painful expression on your face; Stop stirring when you ask to stop."

Melhuish added: "The purpose of this project is to develop rules, and we need to introduce this complexity into service robots so that they can work closely with humans."

Melhuish said: "Robots are now widely used in manufacturing, but the work they can do is usually limited, and there are usually physical obstacles between robots and humans. In the family situation, robots can provide services or care for humans, we must have appropriate The rules and design to ensure the safety of humans in close contact with robots."

The project consists of a variety of disciplines involving robotics engineers, cognitive scientists, and psychologists. Much of the work was carried out in specially designed rooms at the Bristol Robotics Lab, where people recorded the tone, gestures, and expressions of the researchers, checking every minute, allowing the rules to be applied to service robotics .

Researchers will develop safe, mobile, and sensitive engineering principles, as well as principles for language, communication, decision making, and action planning so that robots can think clearly with their human partners.

“Implementing the safe interaction between robots and humans is the key to the future development of robots. If we can provide the necessary “thoughts” for the safe cooperation between robots and humans in the same physical space, this will bring considerable progress in this field. The use of service robots in society will take us a step further," Melhuish noted. "By researchers such as biologists, electromechanical engineers, surgeons, psychologists, aerodynamicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, materials scientists, etc. Combined with the industry, we are able to explore exciting new research areas and new applications that will impact new business."

Solar Street Light is mainly applied in engineering projects. With the advantages of high luminous flux, super long lifespan, average 70% energy save, low maintenance cost and wide color temperature options, it is a perfect replacement for conventional halogen and sodium street light.The Led lamp is made of high- quality aluminum alloy material, with unique air convection design. Easy to install and use,secure and reliable. It has infrared ray inductive probe, when someone is approaching, the light will be all light for 60 seconds. But the people is leaving away, the light will be reduce1/3 lightness automatically, to save the energy.
