摘要:
As autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are introduced into workspace environments shared with people, effective human-robot communication is critical to the prevention of injury while maintaining a high level of productivity. This research presents an empirical study that evaluates four alternative methods for communicating between an autonomous mobile robot and a human at a warehouse intersection. The results demonstrate that using an intent communication system for human-AMR interaction improves objective measures of productivity (task time) and subjective metrics of trust and comfort.
