Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Proximity Perception in Robotics at IROS 2019, Macau, China, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT), 11/2019

Abstract:

In this workshop, the benefits of Proximity Perception in robotics, especially to those unfamiliar with it, have been highlighted. An important aspect was to encourage networking within the research community as well as to bridge the gap to the industry supporting technology transfer. Regarding the broader objectives of the workshop, we observe that Proximity Perception technologies have the potential to play an essential role in service, industrial robotics, Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC), compliant robotics applications and even bio-inspired robotics. On the one hand, designs of robotic graspers that include Proximity Sensors enable novel control strategies for exploration, grasping and manipulation. On the other hand, the sensors allow safety features to fulfill leading technical pecifications such as ISO/TS 15066 for the operation of collaborative robots and improve the autonomy and perception of robotic systems in all fields.

These proceedings contain the papers accepted and presented during the poster session of the workshop.
