Designing robotic tasks for co-manipulation necessitates to exploit not only proprioceptive
but also exteroceptive information for improved safety and autonomy. Following such
instinct, this research proposes to formulate intuitive robotic tasks following human viewpoint

Designing robotic tasks for co-manipulation necessitates to exploit not only proprioceptive but also exteroceptive information for improved safety and autonomy. Following such instinct, this research proposes to formulate intuitive robotic tasks following human viewpoint by incorporating visuo-tactile perception. The visual data using depth cameras surveils and determines the object dimensions and human intentions while the tactile sensing ensures to maintain the desired contact to avoid slippage. Experiment performed on robot platform with human assistance under industrial settings validates the performance and applicability of proposed intuitive task formulation.
