Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a method for responding to a detected event by a robot is provided. The method includes using a sensor to detect an event within an operational space of a robot. The event includes a movement of an object or a person within the operational space. The method also includes using a processor to predict an action to occur within the operational space of the robot based upon the detected event. The method also identifies at least one correlated robot action to be taken in response to the detected event and compares the predicted action to a movement plan of the robot. The method further selects at least one of the correlated robot actions and modifies a movement plan of a robot to include at least one of the identified correlated robot actions in response to the detected event.
