Incorporating Novel Path Planning Method into Cognitive Vision System for Safe Human-Robot Interaction

In this paper, a novel path planning method is presented and discussed. The method has its application in tasks like human-robot-interaction and cooperation. Thus special boundary conditions, i.e., real-time behaviour and safety, are of great interest. According to the presented results, cognitive industrial robotics without safety fences and a great autonomy are on their way to become part of our everyday life.
