Adaptive Motion Planning via Contact-Based Intent Inference for Human-Robot Collaboration
Human-robot collaboration (HRC) requires robots to adapt their motions to human intent to ensure safe and efficient cooperation in shared spaces. Although large language models (LLMs) provide high-level reasoning for inferring human intent, their application to reliable motion planning in HRC remains challenging. Physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is intuitive but often relies on continuous kinesthetic guidance, which imposes burdens on operators. To address these challenges, a contact-informed adaptive motion-planning framework is introduced to infer human intent directly from physical contact and employ the inferred intent for online motion correction in HRC. First, an optimization-based force estimation method is proposed to infer human-intended contact forces and locations from joint torque measurements and a robot dynamics model, thereby reducing cost and installation complexity while enabling whole-body sensitivity. Then, a torque-based contact detection mechanism with link-level localization is introduced to reduce the optimization search space and to enable real-time estimation. Subsequently, a contact-informed adaptive motion planner is developed to infer human intent from contacts and to replan robot motion online, while maintaining smoothness and adapting to human corrections. Finally, experiments on a 7-DOF manipulator are conducted to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed force estimation method and the effectiveness of the contact-informed adaptive motion planner under perception uncertainty in HRC.
