UWB Propagation Characteristics of Human-to-Robot Communication in Automated Collaborative Warehouse
This research addresses the problem of ensuring reliable and safe human-to-robot communication for warehouse operators in automated collaborative warehouses, providing insights into communication range limitations.
This paper analyzed UWB Gaussian signal propagation in an automated collaborative warehouse model using ray tracing, with a transmitting antenna on a human body. It calculated received power profiles in warehouses with empty and loaded racks to estimate the safe communication range between humans and robots.
Propagation of UWB Gaussian signal in a model of automated collaborative warehouse is analyzed using ray tracing method. The transmitting antenna is placed on the human body while the received power profiles in warehouse containing empty racks and racks filled with different loads are calculated. This gives rise to estimation of safe communication range between humans and robots.
