ADRIATIC - Advancing Diver-Robot Interaction Capabilities
Abstract
The underwater environment is hazardous for humans due to the fact that they are dependent ontechnical equipment for life support,"" divers have limited navigation capabilities and communication withthe surface, and the underwater environment is under constant in"fluence of external environmentaldisturbances. ADRIATIC project builds upon recent research accomplishments in the area of human-ro"botinteraction underwater, by advancing the developed cooperative motion algorithms and introducingwearable sensors in a form of a" diver glove for controlling an autonomous underwater vehicle that servesas a robotic diving buddy. The main objectives are to develop collaborative motion strategies between ahuman diver and an autonomous underwater vehicle through exteroceptive recognition of diver positionand orientation; determining diver physiological parameters using novel wearable sensors; explore noveldiver-robot communication methods based on wearable sensors; and evaluate the feasibility of theproposed human-robot interaction solutions in real environment.
