Abstract

En 中文
Large volumes of used electronics are often collected in remanufacturing plants, which requires disassembly before harvesting parts for reuse. Disassembly is mainly conducted manually with low productivity. Recently, human-robot collaboration has been considered as a solution. To assist effectively, robots should observe work environments and recognize human actions accurately. Rich activity video recording and supervised learning can be used to extract insights; however, supervised learning does not allow robots to self-accomplish the learning process. This study proposes an unsupervised learning framework for achieving video-based human activity recognition. The framework consists of two main elements: 1) a variational-autoencoder-based architecture for unlabeled data representation learning and 2) a hidden Markov model for activity state division. The complete explicit activity classification is validated against ground truth labels; here, we use a case study of disassembling a hard disk drive. The framework shows an average recognition accuracy of 91.52%, higher than competing methods.
