Kingdom 0000-0002-9152-3194 Abstract —A non-axisymmetric parallel manipulator headrest design was previously proposed to counter patient head motion during ophthalmic surgery, and a non-motorized prototype was built. Custom linear actuators were designed, and installed to the headrest manipulator prototype in preparation for kinematic performance test. An inverse kinematic-based control algorithm was implemented, and initial kinematic testing was done. Finally, the future plans for the research are

As chairs of the UKRAS 2022 conference, we are happy to welcome you in person after a break from in-person events. The theme of this year’s conference is “Robotics for Unconstrained Environ-ments”, reflecting much of the robotics research that happens at Aberystwyth University. Unconstrained environments include any indoor and outdoor environment that has not been modified specifically for the robot to perform its task. The premise is that the environment must be representative of the task rather than being artificially simplified.

Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) requires not only technical safety but also a level of comfort for humans to ensure that humans and robots work and interact safely in the daily process flow. This paper presents a review of preliminary design considerations on how a robot arm can be controlled to explore various safe and personified movements in order to assess and improve legibility of robot performance in the presence of moving humans at home, industry, or any other environment.

Human activity recognition is an important aspect of many robotics applications. In this paper, we discuss how well the RoboCup@home competition accounts for the importance of such recognition algorithms. Using public benchmarks as an inspiration, we propose to add a new task that specifically tests the performance of human activity recognition in this league. We suggest that human-robot interaction research in general can benefit from the addition of such a task as RoboCup@home is considered to accelerate, regulate, and consolidate the field.
