Differential GPS, commonly referred as DGPS, is a well-known and very accurate localization system for many outdoor applications in particular for mobile outdoor robotics. The most common drawback of DGPS systems are the high costs for both base station and receivers. In this paper, we present a setup that uses third-party open-source software and...

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) continue to facilitate the work of physicians and hospital nurses by releasing those professionals from time consuming transport tasks within hospitals. Nonetheless, AMRs still often face challenges when situations occur, which result in a failure of the navigation system. In this paper, we present an analysis and an...

The human worker will still play a major part in the factory of the future. The number of tasks to accomplish is constantly rising in modern production facilities and warehouses, whereas the shortage of skilled workers is increasing. As a result, fewer professionals must work alongside with many roustabouts at highly complex technical systems and i...

Automation in production and logistics facilities has drastically been increased in the past decades in a way that human workers are continually confronted with robots in their working environment. In this paper, we present the approach to model interactions between workers and our socially interacting AGV EMILI by using elliptic, worker dependent...
