Utilisation of Kinect Sensors for the Design of a Human-Robot Collaborative Workcell

Abstract

The paper deals with a present topic of utilisation of nonconventional sensors for solving the tasks of a human-robot collaboration within a shared workcell. The attention is primary focused on an exploring of possibilities of utilisation of low-cost Kinect sensors. The paper presents the methodical steps of solution of a sensor subsystem proposal within conditions of the laboratory robotised workcell, methods applied for the sensors intrinsic parameters calibration and their verification.
