Vision-Based Human Awareness Estimation for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency of AMRs in Industrial Warehouses

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.18627v1 Announce Type: new Ensuring human safety is of paramount importance in warehouse environments that feature mixed traffic of human workers and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Current approaches often treat humans as generic dynamic obstacles, leading to conservative AMR behaviors like slowing down or detouring, even when workers are fully aware and capable of safely sharing space. This paper presents a real-time vision-based method to estimate human awareness of an AMR using a single RGB camera.
