DESCRIPTION:The IEEE-Robotics & Automation Society (RAS) Jt. Washington D.C
 . and Northern Virginia Chapter cordially invite you to attend a Distingui
 sh\nLecture (DL) seminar “Physical Human-Robot Collaboration (pHRC) – 
 Research Challenges and Applications ”\, by Professor Dikai Liu from the
  University of Sydney.\n\nThere has been increasing interest in the use of
  intelligent robots that can interact\, assist and collaborate with humans
 . However\, a number of key research challenges need to be addressed befor
 e robotic systems can be deployed to physically collaborate with human co-
 workers with varying strengths and in typically unstructured industrial en
 vironments. The talk will first discuss challenges of research on physical
  human-robot collaboration (pHRC)\, then the development of intelligent ro
 botic coworkers that physically collaborate with humans performing labor i
 ntensive tasks such as abrasive blasting and patient handling. Topics incl
 ude (1) assistance-as-needed paradigm\; (2) control methods of robotic co-
 workers\; (3) safety framework for physical human-robot collaboration\; (4
 ) brain-robot interface for intuitive human-robot collaboration\; (5) mode
 lling of human performance in pHRC\; (6) development of robotic co-workers
 : an Assistance-as- Needed roBot (ANBOT) and a Smart Hoist.\n\nAttendees a
 re eligible to receive an IEEE Certificate of Continuing Education Units /
 Professional Development Hours (CEU/PDH) by attending the full duration of
  the presentation\, completing\, and submitting forms at the close of the 
 program.\n[]\n\nSpeaker(s): Dikai Liu\n\nAgenda: \n15:45 – 16:00 Welcome
