Design of a Human-Assistance Robot System with Contextual Action Recognition
Amanuel Ergogo, Teresa Zielińska
Abstract
This paper presents a conceptual design for a proactive human assisting robot system capable of recognizing human activities and responding proactively. The system leverages contextual human activity recognition to interpret human actions across diverse contexts, while behavior trees are utilized to define dynamic and interpretable robot behaviors. We outline the system architecture, incorporating contextual human action recognition (HAR), behavior trees (BTs), and ROS, using the Spot robot platform as a representative example. We explain how HAR enables the robot to provide proactive assistance, discuss its limitations, and introduce methodologies for contextual HAR to address these limitations, thereby enhancing the robot's decision-making in complex human activity scenarios.
