Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to execute tasks of humanoid robots while maintaining the safety of surrounding humans, we explored increasing the accuracy of a safety index by introducing an estimation model of human behaviors. In addition to this, we explored motion planning and reactive control methods that consider the safety index. We proposed to model human behaviors by assuming that humans select the most dangerous behaviors from possible selections. This model enabled the robots to maintain human safety even if we do not have accurate models of human behaviors, as we control the robot by assuming the worst cases. We verified our proposed methods with a humanoid robot and simulations.
