Vision-Based Human Awareness for Safe AMR Warehouse Operations
Real-time vision method estimates human awareness to enable safer, more efficient autonomous mobile robot behavior in mixed human-robot warehouses. Instead of treating workers as generic obstacles, the system detects when humans are aware and capable, reducing unnecessary conservative robot behaviors. Directly applicable to production warehouse automation systems.
