Online Multimodal Workload Assessment in Contact-Rich Physical Human-Robot Interaction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 16, 2026 · UTC

Contact-rich physical human--robot interaction (pHRI) imposes time-varying demands associated with physical interaction, motor regulation, and physiological response, motivating continuous assessment of interaction workload. This paper presents an online multimodal assessment framework that integrates interaction wrench, planar tool-center-point (TCP) kinematics, and skin conductance level (SCL) into four interpretable workload-related factors. Their relative contributions are adjusted using path curvature to reflect changes in motion demand and task progression to account for gradual physiolo
