This research project aims to enhance human-robot collaboration by developing advanced technologies for safe and proactive interactions between humans and robots. Our international team, composed of experts from France, Japan, and Canada, will work together to create robots that can better understand and respond to human actions in real-time. The project focuses on several key areas. First, we will develop new methods for robots to safely and effectively collaborate with humans in various tasks, using state-of-the-art robotics platforms and motion analysis systems to ensure smooth and intuitive interactions. Second, our research will advance robot vision systems, enabling robots to perceive and interpret their surroundings more accurately by using unconventional cameras and real-time tracking systems. Third, we will design and implement real-time control systems that allow robots to adapt their movements and actions based on human behavior, making interactions more natural and efficient. Finally, by studying human biomechanics and movement patterns, we will develop models that help robots predict and adapt to human actions, enhancing safety and collaboration. Our project will provide enriched training experiences for research trainees, allowing them to develop relevant technical skills in robotics, biomechanics, and control systems. They will also gain professional skills in leadership, communication, and collaboration through hands-on involvement in the project and interactions with international collaborators. In summary, this project will significantly advance the field of human-robot collaboration, leading to safer, more intuitive, and efficient interactions between humans and robots in various applications. The results of this research will benefit industries, healthcare, and everyday life, contributing to the development of intelligent robotic systems that can work seamlessly alongside humans.
