With the beginning of 2018, we created the research group of HUman RObotics, motivated by new necessities of future robotics. Its members, with great experience in robotics and its related automated systems, start this new enterprise with the collaboration of companies like PAL Robotics, CFZ Cobots, and Tamegar, as well as European research group like SIGMA (Clermont-Ferrand, France), Industrial Systems Institute (ISI, Greece), and Onboard Space Systems (Luleå University of Technology, Sweden).
This is a project in which our intention is to deal with the problems of future robotics, which requires robots able to develop their tasks in Dynamic and social environments. HUman RObotics’ lines of research are grouped into four categories:
Within the industrial field we should mention:
Finally, we are working on improving the performance of robotic systems so they perform not only in industrial environments but also in social ones. Thus, the main objectives of HUman RObotics within this topic can be summarized in:
It also allows for the design, control, and construction of robots belonging to different scenarios such as humanoid robots, social robot, industrial robotic arms, field robotics, etc. Additionally, the use of sensor information is also considered for the guidance and control of robots. Two important research field of HUman Robotics within this topic are:
This group that belongs to the Department of Physics, System Engineering and Control Theory of the University of Alicante starts with these fundamental lines of research. With the final objective of contributing to future robotics and position the University of Alicante and its future graduate and postgraduate students as a world referent within these fields.
