Abstract
A robot collaborating with astronauts needs to comprehend and predict their movements. We present an approach to perceiving and modeling astronaut movement using a 3D virtual world. The robot´s visual data is registered with the virtual world to construct a model of the astronauts´ dynamics and predict future motions using a physics engine. This enables the robot to interact more naturally with the humans and to avoid potentially disastrous mistakes.
