Human-robot interaction
otCOM 2017-12-27T15:15:01+00:00Abstract In the industrial field a lot of tasks can be executed automatically by means of robotic manipulators, e.g. pick and place, welding, assembly or product inspection. For this reason the way the trajectory is “taught” to the robot becomes crucial. Teaching techniques involving manual guidance of the robot maximize the possibilities [...]
