Robot access port mismatched with user actions

Users must bend, detour, or make multiple attempts to retrieve or place items.

Research direction: Embodied AI and service robotsProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Document retrieval/placement height, hand paths, and carrying methods for different users.
  2. Compare combinations of opening placement, door orientation and support surfaces.
  3. Test loading and retrieval with real objects, then refine the areas users interact with.

Key Deliverables

  • Loading and Retrieval Analysis
  • Compartment Prototype
  • Trial documentation

Verification Approach

Track awkward posture adjustments, items getting stuck and repeated attempts.
