Abstract:
Recognition of human activities and situation awareness is an important basis for safe human-robot-cooperation. In this paper, a recognition module is presented and discussed. The usage of Description Logics allows for knowledge based representation of activities and situations. Furthermore, reasoning about context dependent actions enables conclusions about expectations for robot behavior. This approach represents a significant step towards a full-fledged cognitive industrial robotic framework.
