Somatic Safety: An Embodied Approach Towards Safe Human-Robot Interaction
Dancers explore physical contact with cobots through improvisation and reflection. The work offers a qualitative view of felt safety, handling and tacit bodily cues. These observations can inform interaction design but do not define allowable contact forces or validate an industrial protective function.
