The article focuses on improving human-robot collaborations, particularly in collaborative manufacturing scenarios where pre-existing data is scarce. The authors propose a model-based formulation of conditional behavior prediction that allows the robot to infer the human’s intentions based on its future plan. The model is used for proactive goal selection and path generation around human collaborators. The use of the proactive controller in a collaborative task showed improved interactions between users and the robot collaborator.
