Utilizing Eye Gaze for Human-Robot Collaborative Assembly

摘要

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) in dynamic assembly environments requires intuitive communication for seamless interactions. Eye gaze, a nonverbal cue, is critical for interpreting human intent and enhancing robot adaptability. This research introduces a three-tier framework categorizing eye gaze into fixation, scanning, and task-switching behaviors, aiming to improve real-time robot responsiveness. Preliminary evaluations with multiple human subjects demonstrated the potential of this classification to enhance task alignment and detect anomalies in human behavior. Future work will explore automated personalization of the algorithm for individuals and integrate multimodal data to refine adaptability in human-robot collaborative systems.
