Non-Intrusive operator tracking in human-robot collaborative tasks

Over the last years, mobile collaborative robots have been utilised in a series of diverse applications alongside human operators. The main goal has been to support operators towards completing tasks in an easier, time- and cost-effective manner. One of the main reasons why collaborative mobile platforms may be selected for certain applications is the fact that they can combine the dexterity of a robot arm and the ability to move around the shop floor. This way multiple operators in different workstations may be supported.
