Communicating Robot Arm Motion Intent Through Mixed Reality Head-mounted Displays

Understand

Efficient motion intent communication is necessary for safe and collaborative work environments with collocated humans and robots.

• Humans efficiently communicate their motion intent to other humans through gestures, gaze, and social cues.
• However, robots often have difficulty efficiently communicating their motion intent to humans via these methods.
• Many existing methods for robot motion intent communication rely on 2D displays, which require the human to continually pause their work and check a visualization.
